Comparison of three tourniquet application methods in primary total knee arthroplasty surgery /
The optimal timing of pneumatic lower limb tourniquet application during primary elective total knee arthroplasty surgery (TKA) is a matter of debate. 132 patients who undergo TKA were prospectively randomized into one of the 4 groups, and 120 of these patients completed the study. The tourniquet …

Novel Approach to Junctional Bleeding: Tourniquet Device Proposal for Battlefield Hemorrhage Control
… (Kragh et al., 2011a; Bozeman, 2011). Common tourniquets today are standard issue and carried by soldiers in the military, but are limited to distal extremity trauma. As the battlefield has changes however, trauma has transformed from commonly seen gunshot wounds to more extreme trauma such as …

Use of a tourniquet in lower limb amputations: Evaluating blood loss in peripheral arterial disease patients A systematic review
Background: Tourniquets have become an inseparable part of many different types of intricate and major surgeries, including amputation. Tourniquets create a bloodless environment, which is thought to facilitate surgery and reduce time, potential errors and subsequent complications. Objectives: To …

Comprehensive Review of Literature on Shock and an Experimental Evaluation of Intravenous Acid Saline Infusion in the Treatment of Tourniquet Produced Shock in Dogs
… of the treatment of irreversible hemorrhagic and tourniquet shocked dogs with acid saline. It is to be clearly understood that this project is being carried out in full collaboration with Dr. F. K. Allen who originated the idea of such proposed therapy and to whom I express sincere appreciation in …

Mechanical counter-pressure space suit design using active materials
… use in compression garments, and test 5 active tourniquet prototypes (made using these cartridges and commercially available fabrics) to assess the eect of SMA actuation on the tourniquet compression characteristics. Our results demonstrate that hybrid active tourniquet prototypes are highly …

Vascular distribution of contrast medium during intraosseous regional perfusion in the equine distal limb
… (MCIII) using iodinated contrast medium and a tourniquet placed over the proximal MCIII. Vascular regions of interest (ROI) were created for each radiograph. Reviewers identified presence or absence of contrast in each ROI. This information was summarized to identify vessel-filling patterns …

Occlusion of the Internal Carotid Artery of Horses: Evaluation of a Technique Designed to Prevent Epistaxis Caused by Guttural Pouch Mycosis
… blood flow was occluded by placement of a tourniquet on the artery near its origin. Lumenal access was gained through placement of a distally directed introducer sheath and retrograde blood flow from the cerebral arterial circle was confirmed. An 8.5 mm diameter detachable latex balloon …

Factors that Contribute to Susceptibility of the Placebo/Nocebo Effect in Experimentally Induced Ischemic Arm Pain
… Withdrawal test and the submaximal effort tourniquet technique were employed as pain vehicles for the measurement of group differences. No significant effects of planned analyses were observed. However, unplanned analyses of childhood trauma subscales indicated that physical and emotional …

Comparison of left 4th and 5th intercostal space thoracotomy for open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation in dogs
… hand position, ease of application of Rumel tourniquet, and ease of proper placement of defibrillator paddles) involved in performing OC-CPR were assessed by three evaluators. The results indicated that either 4th or 5th ICS thoracotomy may provide adequate access to intrathoracic structures …

Reflex inhibition of the human quadriceps in the presence of knee joint damage
… anaesthetic (Chapter 3). Prolonged voluntary tourniquet ischaemia in normal subjects did not alter subsequent quadriceps function, indicating that the reduced NVA observed in the meniscectomy patients was not due to ischaemia (Chapter 4). Isometric quadriceps contractions are inhibited less …

Development and Characterisation of a Carbon Based pH Microsensor and Studies on Polypyrrole Nanowires
… was induced locally to the limb by applying a tourniquet to restrict the blood flow and induce ischemia. This caused an increase in CO2 levels thus reducing the pH. After a short period of time, ca. 10 minutes, the tissue pH was allowed to recover. To induce an increase in the pH, injections of …
