Sort of but not quite.

The reason for high unwarranted amputation rates is most likely due to improper triage and wound assessment, lack of field surgeons and facilities, and more likely just improper treatment after application.

Hypovolemia is a minimal factor when it comes to the use of tourniquets, primarily I'd be more concerned about Ischemia, DVTs, compartment syndrome, and issues related to reperfusion. All of which contribute to amputation necessity.

Was more speaking about the IFAK itself.
They're the only decent burger joint nearby my work, so I pay the patty tax.
