    Abstract Since the first documented use of a tourniquet in 1674, the popularity of tourniquets has waxed and waned. During recent wars and more recently in Emergency Medical Services systems, the tourniquet has been proven to be a valuable tool in the treatment of life-threatening hemorrhage. However, tourniquet use is not without risk, and several studies have demonstrated adverse events and morbidity associated with tourniquet use in the prehospital setting, particularly when left in place for more than 2 h. Consequently, the US military's Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care has recommended guidelines for prehospital tourniquet conversion to reduce the risk of adverse events associated with tourniquets once the initial hemorrhage has been controlled. Emergency Medical Services systems that operate in rural, frontier, and austere environments, especially those with transport times to definitive care that routinely exceed 2 h, may consider implementing similar tourniquet conversion guidelines.

    Abstract Takotsubo cardiomyopathy syndrome, or simply takotsubo syndrome (TTS), is a form of stress cardiomyopathy thought to be caused by excess catecholamines in association with physical or emotional stress. Providers should maintain a high index of suspicion for TTS in patients with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome, acute decompensated heart failure, substernal chest pain, or dyspnea. However, TTS is a diagnosis of exclusion, and patients should initially be evaluated and treated for other causes, such as acute myocardial infarction. Critical care transport crews may encounter patients with TTS during their primary presentation, before diagnosis, or after the formal diagnosis is made in the catheterization laboratory. Therefore, crews should be familiar with unique aspects of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of TTS. This article presents a case and provides a critical review of TTS for critical care transport clinicians.

    Abstract Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a relatively common and life-threatening condition encountered by critical care transport crews. It is of paramount importance that transport crews understand the underlying pathophysiology of variceal and nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding as well as the nuanced management of this patient population. This article reviews the current clinical evidence on initial resuscitation, medical management, and advanced invasive therapies (such as balloon tamponade devices) that transport crews should be familiar with to manage these patients. In addition, we present a novel method of continuous balloon pressure monitoring of balloon tamponade devices that is applicable to the transport environment.
