Abstract:Background
Tourniquets provide better tissue visibility during arthroscopic surgery. However, multiple postoperative adverse events associated with ischemia may be caused by excessive inflation pressure and duration. We aimed to evaluate the degree of tourniquet-induced ischemia using a noninvasive continuous real-time monitoring method and the relationship between changes in tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) and blood biochemical markers of ischemic injuries in patients undergoing arthroscopic k… Show more
