Reduction of blood flow to skin

A technique used in treating the burn patient to reduce blood loss during debridement. Debridement is scraping off the dead skin, exposing the raw tissue underneath. Decreasing blood flow to the surface lessens blood loss during debridement. However, such restricted blood flow cannot be maintained for extended periods of time.
