Tourniquet paralysis.

چکیده
CLINICAL MATERIAL OF necessity, a very large sample of procedures needs to be gathered to give a significant amount of information, as complications from the use of tourniquets are rare. Because of their rarity and the concern of the surgeon on these occasions, it was thought that questionnaire information was likely to be quite accurate. One hundred and fifty-one members of the Australian Orthopadic Association have supplied data.

The 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 کاملEffect of Dexamethasone on Preventing Tibial Nerve Conduction Velocity Loss in Tourniquet Neurepathic Rat
Introduction: Ischaemic-reperfusion nerve injury has been suggested as the mechanism for post-tourniquet limb paralysis. As dexamethasone (Dex) has been shown to Prevent ischaemic-reperfusion process in some tissues, we tested the hypothesis that this drug would reduce tourniquet induced nerve injury. Methods: 36 male Wistar rats (200-250 gr) were chosen and divided randomly into 6 equal grou...
متن کاملTourniquet paralysis syndrome.
were more aware of the existence of the characteristic clinical syndrome which may follow the application of a tourniquet and which is the subject of this paper. This complication can be overlooked for several reasons. First, the paralysis and the associated phenomena can be of relatively short duration. Secondly, the lesion can be a mild one and result in an incomplete paralysis, which may be ...
متن کاملEffect of dexamethasone on preventing tibial nerve conduction velocity loss in tourniquet neuropathic rat
Introduction: Ischemic-reperfusion nerve injury has been suggested as the mechanism for post-tourniquet limb paralysis. Dexamethasone (Dex) has been known to prevent ischemic-reperfusion side effects in some tissues, we here evaluated its possible preventing effect on tourniquet induced nerve injury. Methods: 36 male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were divided randomly into 6 equal groups named as Sha...
متن کاملRecovery of nerve conduction after a pneumatic tourniquet: observations on the hind-limb of the baboon.
A small pneumatic cuff inflated around the knee was used to produce tourniquet paralysis in baboons. A cuff pressure of 1,000 mm Hg maintained for one to three hours produced paralysis of distal muscles lasting up to three months. Nerve conduction studies showed that most of the motor fibres to the abductor hallucis muscle were blocked at the level of the cuff and that they conducted impulses n...
متن کاملTourniquet-Related Iatrogenic Femoral Nerve Palsy after Knee Surgery: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Purpose. Tourniquet-induced nerve injuries have been reported in the literature, but even if electromyography abnormalities in knee surgery are frequent, only two cases of permanent femoral nerve palsies have been reported, both after prolonged tourniquet time. We report a case of tourniquet-related permanent femoral nerve palsy after knee surgery. Case Report. We report a case of a 58-year-old...
