The pneumatic tourniquet and deep venous thrombosis.
The effect of the pneumatic tourniquet on the incidence of postoperative deep venous thrombosis is uncertain. We carried out a controlled study comparing the incidence of deep venous thrombosis when a tourniquet was used with the incidence when a tourniquet was not used. Thrombosis was detected by radioisotope venography. The results of the study showed no difference in incidence and we conclud...
متن کاملAnatomical changes in peripheral nerves compressed by a pneumatic tourniquet.
Local compression is known to damage peripheral nerves. Severe compression may actually crush the fibres and lead to Wallerian degeneration; the excitability of the nerve distal to the lesion is lost and recovery may take many months (Seddon, 1943; Denny-Brown & Brenner, 1944 a). Mild compression produces a physiological block which is reversed as soon as the pressure is released. On the basis ...
متن کاملUse of a pneumatic tourniquet induces changes in central temperature.
Twenty-six patients requiring orthopaedic surgery were anaesthetized and oesophageal and rectal temperature were monitored continuously. Twenty patients requiring a pneumatic tourniquet were allocated prospectively to one of two groups: passive group (Pg) with reflective insulation on all available skin surface (n = 10) and forced group (Fg), with active warming by a forced air system (n = 10)....
متن کاملThe pathogenesis of pneumatic tourniquet paralysis in man.
The relative importance of ischaemic and direct mechanical injury to nerves compressed by a tourniquet, in the pathogenesis of tourniquet paralysis in man has not been established. To investigate this question, conduction in ulnar or median nerve fibres has been measured in healthy subjects both at the level of the pneumatic tourniquet and distal to the tourniquet. Measurement was prior to, for...
متن کاملPerineural pressures under the pneumatic tourniquet in the upper extremity.
The literature indicates that tourniquet-induced neurological injuries are relatively common and frequently occur at a subclinical level. In order to evaluate the pressure transmitted to the major peripheral nerves of the arm by an externally applied pneumatic tourniquet, a fully implantable biomedical pressure transducer was placed adjacent the radial, median and ulnar nerves in six cadaver up...
