Bleeding should stop in how many seconds when applying Junctional TQ?

• A. 60 seconds
• B. 90 seconds
• C. 120 seconds
• D. 180 seconds

Answer: (B)

The main idea is rapid hemorrhage control for junctional injuries where a standard limb tourniquet can’t reach. When a Junctional tourniquet is positioned and tightened correctly, bleeding should be controlled in about a minute and a half. This quick time frame helps you decide whether the device is effectively stopping the bleed or if you need to reassess placement, increase pressure, or add other hemorrhage-control measures and prepare for evacuation.

If bleeding isn’t controlled within that window, recheck that the device is centered over the bleed, verify snugness, and consider supplemental measures such as direct pressure or a hemostatic dressing, then escalate as needed.
