RESULTS: 100% of the articles reviewed demonstrate that the use of the tourniquet is highly effective in controlling out-of-hospital bleeding in victims of penetrating wounds. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the tourniquet is effective in controlling out-of-hospital bleeding in victims of penetrating wounds; It is also associated with the presence of few or few complications, it manages to save lives, with low risk of morbidity, avoiding death due to severe external bleeding, as well as with potentially serious injuries that survive; being currently more used for first aid, and decreased use of blood products.
