Which type of bandage is applied to a horse's extremities to force blood out of the limb, while a tourniquet prevents the blood from returning?
  1. Esmarch bandage
  2. Modified Robert Jones bandage
  3. Ace bandage
  4. Ehmer sling
Explanation
Answer: A - The Esmarch bandage is an elastic bandage that is wound up the leg in a spiral fashion to an area above the surgical site. This forces the blood out of the leg. Then a tourniquet is applied above the bandage to prevent the blood from returning. This allows an almost bloodless surgical field.
