Change of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter After Deflation of Pneumatic Tourniquet

Completed
Conditions
Intracranial Pressure Increase
Registration Number
NCT03782077
Lead Sponsor
Asan Medical Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change of the optic nerve sheath diameter after deflation of pneumatic tourniquet.

Detailed Description

Deflation of pneumatic tourniquet could induces many changes in various organ systems. It has been shown to affect intracranial pressure. Thus, the investigators evaluate the change of optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasound after deflation of pneumatic tourniquet in patients undergoing knee surgery.
