    Abstract
    Abstract published with permission. It has long been accepted that uncontrolled haemorrhage is a leading cause of early death in trauma patients, with the majority of deaths occurring in the pre-hospital setting. While most cases of haemorrhage can be dealt with using standard dressings, tourniquets and haemostatic agents, some anatomical areas such as the head, neck, axilla and junctional areas continue to be problematic, as it is challenging to apply tourniquets or trauma pressure dressings to these areas effectively. One device designed to overcome this issue is the iTClamp™50, which was the subject of a service evaluation by the North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, from July 2014 to February 2016. Experienced paramedics stationed close to the participating major trauma centre were asked to evaluate the device with a view to obtaining a minimum of 20 cases of iTClamp use to determine its suitability. Paramedic participants were trained by the manufacturer before being provided with two iTClamps. After every application, the evaluating paramedic produced an unstructured reflective account and completed an evaluation questionnaire. Paramedics who used the iTClamp™50 found it enhanced their ability to quickly control external haemorrhage in difficult anatomical areas and could be used as part of a major haemorrhage control strategy. Overall, paramedics felt it was quick and easy to use following a short training session.
