Minimal Inflation Tourniquet Pressure Using Induced Hypotension

• Conditions: Vascular Diseases

• Registration Number: NCT04055779
• Lead Sponsor: Beni-Suef University

Brief Summary

Limb occlusion pressure (LOP) and arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) are the terms that mean the lowest tourniquet pressure required to stop the arterial blood flow into the limb distal to the cuff. LOP can be determined manually or automatically by slow cuff inflation until disapper of pulsation with Doppler flow-meter or pulse oximeter

Detailed Description

The advantages of the tourniquet during upper or lower limb procedures are providing bloodless operative field and so less intra-operative blood lossIt has been reported that using the lowest effective inflation pressure minimize tourniquet induced nerve injury .). Limb occlusion pressure (LOP) and arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) are the terms that mean the lowest tourniquet pressure required to stop the arterial blood flow into the limb distal to the cuff. LOP can be determined manually or automatically by slow cuff inflation until disapper of pulsation with Doppler flowmeter or pulse oximeter .AOP can be estimated by a formula (AOP = \[SBP + 10\]/KTP) using patient's systolic blood pressure (SBP) and tissue padding coefficient (KTP) values. In both methods, addition of a safety margin to LOP or AOP is recommended for potential hemodynamic fluctuations during surgery

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Tourniquet inflation pressure	tourniquet inflation pressures will be recorded at 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min.	the tourniquet inflation pressure will be determined based on the Arterial occlusion pressure or the limb occlusion pressure
time required to set the tourniquet inflation pressures	one minute before inflation of the tourniquet cuff	Time needed to estimate AOP or to determine LOP and set the tourniquet cuff pressure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
tourniquet performance	at the middle and end of surgery	tourniquet performance as determined by the quality of bloodless surgical field.
