Key result
Tourniquet application during knee surgery significantly increased mean arterial pressure by 26% during inflation and cardiac index by 40% after deflation (P < 0.05).
Why the study?
Does tourniquet application alter hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in young men undergoing knee surgery?
Observational (n=10)
Does tourniquet application alter hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in young men undergoing knee surgery?
p-value: p=< 0.05
Tourniquet application during knee surgery induces significant but transient hemodynamic and metabolic changes, which may be clinically relevant in patients with concomitant cardiovascular diseases.

Tourniquet use was associated with transient hemodynamic shifts; leaves open relevance to outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Girardis et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Knee surgery (n=10). Tourniquet application vs. Basal values (before inflation) was evaluated on Hemodynamic and metabolic changes (mean arterial pressure, cardiac index, systemic vascular resistance) (p=< 0.05). Tourniquet application during knee surgery significantly increased mean arterial pressure by 26% during inflation and cardiac index by 40% after deflation (P < 0.05).
