Applying a tourniquet for either a short or long time during total knee replacement

All patients underwent spinal anesthesia and the tourniquet was applied to the middle of the thigh; in group one who underwent long-duration application of a tourniquet, it was applied only before the skin incision by inflating it to 150 mmHg above the systolic blood pressure of the patients and deflation finishing of bone cementation while in group two who underwent short duration application of a tourniquet, the tourniquet was only applied just before cementation, was inflated also to 150 mmHg above the systolic blood pressure of the patients, and was deflated after bone cementation.
