When applying the combat application tournequet cat how many times is the windlass rod twisted sabc?

When applying the Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT), the windlass rod is typically twisted until it is tight enough to stop the bleeding, usually requiring 3 to 4 turns. This ensures adequate pressure is applied to occlude arterial blood flow. After twisting, the windlass should be secured in place to maintain pressure until medical help arrives. Always follow specific training guidelines and protocols when using the CAT.
