description Against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict in 2022, this article reviews the characteristics of traumatic hemorrhage in modern warfare spanning the past century. It investigates several types of tourniquets used by the Russian and Ukrainian armed forces, including limb tourniquets and junctional tourniquets recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, tourniquets employed by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and those used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict. The analysis is conducted from perspectives, including the structure, usage methods, and limitations of different tourniquets. Additionally, the article synthesizes the research progress on tourniquets from 3 angles: battlefield adaptability, the impact of tourniquet application methods on patient outcomes, and training in tourniquet usage, offering insights from our team's perspective.
