I just read in laceration sections that "tourniquet should be avoided"

[@ptaelevation]

They keep going back and forth about it in first aid and BLS (basic life support) courses, which is what the boards are based off of. I haven't seen a question on this in a while. What is a uniform answer is to apply pressure directly on laceration!
