Hemodynamic effects of the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet in a hemorrhagic swine model

AAJT application in an animal model of severe shock results in a favorable hemodynamic profile because of afterload support. The present study did not demonstrate any adverse consequences because of caval compression, bowel injury, or pulmonary dysfunction. In addition, there does not appear to be any particular intravenous fluid economy achieved by AAJT application.
