A New Technique for Determining Limb Occlusion Pressure

NCT02620722 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 203

Last updated 2020-11-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study evaluates a novel technique for measuring the minimum pressure necessary to achieve a bloodless surgical field, known as a patient's limb occlusion pressure (LOP). Patients will have tourniquets applied to their arms and legs and LOP will be measured using the new technique and a gold standard Doppler ultrasound technique.

Conditions

  • Tourniquet Safety and Effectiveness

Interventions

DEVICE

Personalized Tourniquet Instrument

Measure the limb occlusion pressure in each patient using the new technique with the personalized tourniquet instrument.

DEVICE

Handheld Doppler ultrasound

Measure the limb occlusion pressure in each patient using the gold-standard technique with the Doppler ultrasound.
