Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis with tourniquet use

Abstract: INTRODUCTIONUpper extremity deep vein thrombosis is an increasingly important clinical finding with significant morbidity and mortality. The condition may be under-diagnosed in trauma and surgery settings.PRESENTATION OF CASEWe present a case of upper extremity thrombosis with venous congestive symptoms secondary to the use of an operative tourniquet. A literature review and discussion of the causes of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis and the pathophysiological disturbances seen with tourniquet use are pre… Show more

“…Examples of these are compartment syndrome, DVT, skin necrosis and neurological complications, and even permanent damage and loss of limb function. [6][7][8][9] Tourniquet use is considered as an important cause of DVT. [10] However, several previous meta-analyses have shown no difference in the effects of TKA with and without tourniquet use on postoperative DVT [11,12], but others believe that the incidence of DVT in the tourniquet group was higher than that in the non-tourniquet group.…”

“…Currently, majority of TKA procedures are carried out with the help of a tourniquet device that is installed around the thigh. [1][2][3] The use of tourniquet in lower limb surgery in the orthopedic field has developed rapidly since it was first introduced. One of the complications of using a tourniquet is increased pain due to tourniquet inflation.…”

“…In tissues during the acute phase response caused by trauma, TNF-α and IL-1β cytokines stimulate the production and release of other cytokines, including Interleukin-6 (IL-6) which reaches a peak of 4-48 hours after surgery. 1,2,4 In addition to increasing cytokines, a number of physiological disorders that occur with the use of tourniquets can predispose patients to thrombotic conditions. The use of tourniquet can induce an increase in circulating thrombotic markers such as D-Dimer, tissue plasminogen activator, angiotensin-converting enzyme, antithrombin-III and protein C. 1,5 The use of tourniquet during TKA besides having benefits also cannot be separated from some of the risks and adverse effects it may caused.…”

“…Εάν η χρήση του είναι επιθυμητή ή αναπόφευκτη σε ασθενείς με ιστορικό υπερπηκτικότητας, καρκίνου, ή και τραύματος της περιοχής πρέπει να υπάρχει υψηλός δείκτης υποψίας εμφάνισης DVT και συμπτωμάτων της. Εάν δεν είναι απαραίτητο η χρήση του θα πρέπει να ελαχιστοποιείται ειδικά στην παρουσία των προαναφερθέντων παραγόντων κινδύνου 98. με το Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Καρδιολογίας η συχνότητα εμφάνισης όλων των επιπλοκών, όπως των κύριων ανεπιθύμητων καρδιακών συμβάντων, του εγκεφαλικού επεισοδίου, του θανάτου, της νεφρικής ανεπάρκειας και των αγγειακών επιπλοκών, δεν υπερβαίνει το 1% για τη στεφανιογραφία και το 3% για την PCI.…”
