Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The arterial tourniquet is widely used in upper and lower extremity surgery and in intravenous regional anaesthesia. The local and systemic physiological effects and the anaesthetic implications are reviewed. Localised complications result from either tissue compression beneath the cuff or tissue ischaemia distal to the tourniquet. Systemic effects are related to the inflation or deflation of the tourniquet. Safe working guidelines for the application of an arterial tourniquet have not been clearly defined. |
