Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Tourniquets are the basic equipment for nurses to perform blood draws, and venous indwelling needles for congestion, or for hemostasis. Therefore, forgetting to remove the tourniquet is a common problem that leads to blood circulation being blocked, and even severe tissue necrosis occurred.

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate whether this innovative tourniquet could prevent forgetting to remove the tourniquet, and improve the satisfaction of care.

Research design: This clinical research trial was a quasi-experimental study designed for a single group with pre-and post-test. We will recruit 160 nurses in high-risk units of the hospital. The delay in removing the tourniquet as our study outcome is defined as the removing time delay of one minute.

Expected results: The research results will provide some evidence of the efficacy of intelligent tourniquets.
