Why the study?
Does up to 2.5 h of circulatory occlusion alter muscle pH and energy metabolism in patients undergoing knee surgery?
Does up to 2.5 h of circulatory occlusion alter muscle pH and energy metabolism in patients undergoing knee surgery?
Up to 2.5 hours of circulatory occlusion during knee surgery causes a reversible decrease in muscle pH and relies on phosphocreatine and glycolysis for energy, while maintaining ATP levels.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Reversible metabolic shifts during tourniquet use may be tolerated; leaves open impacts on clinical recovery and optimal durations.
Sjöholm et al. (1985) studied this question.
