Blutstillungsmaßnahmen in der Notfallaufnahme – Schritt für Schritt

Infolge terroristischer Anschläge in Europa in der letzten Dekade mit einer Zunahme penetrierender Verletzungen auch der Extremitäten wurden Tourniquets (TQ) wieder in den Rettungsdienst eingeführt und die Rettungsdienstmitarbeiter in der Anwendung geschult.
