An interventional study of Occlusion of blood flow diagnosed by Point of Care UltraSound (POCUS) in Trauma Injury and Hemorrhage Wound, sponsored by Medical Corps, Israel Defense Force. Recruiting at 1 site in Israel. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-15.
Sponsored by Medical Corps, Israel Defense Force · Not applicable, Interventional, and Device feasibility
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare usability and performance of automatic tourniquets (AUT) and standard mechanical tourniquets (CAT) in healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will be asked to place AUT and CAT on their upper limbs and lower limbs (8 applications overall).
Following each application, the following parameters will be assessed:
Researchers will compare the results of the AUT and CAT to see if AUT is as effective as CAT in blood occlusion, and if AUT is easy to use as the CAT.
