Summary

Nerve injury is a serious potential complication associated with the clinical use of exsanguinating tourniquets in surgery. Recently, a novel narrow tourniquet has been proposed, with the claim that it may cause less compression of the nerves. We performed an in vivo comparison of a standard wide tourniquet with the new, narrow tourniquet. Our study specifically looked at neurologic markers in the upper extremity.
