Gradual Deflation of Thigh Tourniquet for Attenuation of Hemodynamic Post-tourniquet Response in Old Patients

NCT03899116 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 81

Last updated 2019-07-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Deflation of the pneumatic tourniquet used in lower limb surgery is usually associated with hemodynamic instability, metabolic and respiratory changes. These changes are usually tolerated by young, healthy patients; However, these complications are risky for elderly and cardiac patients. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of gradual deflation of thigh tourniquet on the hemodynamics and arterial blood gases compared to the usual practice
