surgery. It has been found to be a very safe device and the incidence of major complications associated with its use is as low as 1:13,000. Skin damage is a rare complication associated with the use of a pneumatic tourniquet. A few cases of chemical burns have been reported due to the use of alcohol based preparations, but friction burns due to the use of a tourniquet in a healthy person with n...
متن کاملThe use of lower tourniquet inflation pressures in extremity surgery facilitated by curved and wide tourniquets and an integrated cuff inflation system.
Use of the lowest possible cuff inflation pressure should minimize the pathogenic effects of compression beneath the pneumatic tourniquet. Curved tourniquets (designed to fit conically shaped limbs) and wider tourniquets were associated with significantly lower arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) than standard, straight tourniquets on the arms and legs of 26 normal volunteers. These tourniquets w...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of multiresistant organism (MRO) colonisation of reusable venesection tourniquets. DESIGN AND SETTING A prospective study in a tertiary hospital to collect and analyse reusable venesection tourniquets for the presence of MROs - methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and extended-spectrum β-lactamase and...
متن کاملReusable tourniquets. An underestimated means for patient transfer of multi-resistant bacteria
Results The colonisation rate was 78% (78/100). Ten grew non multi-resistant Grampositives MSSA (1) and Enterococcus species (9), 17 grew commensals. Non multiresistant Gram-negatives grew in 38 specimens: Pseudomonas species (13) and ‘coliforms’ (26). MROs were found on 25% of tourniquets, including 3 from MRO isolation rooms. An IMP-4 positive E. cloacae and an ESBL E. cloacae were isolated f...
