Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Quality of the bloodless surgical field provided by lower tourniquet pressures

Secondary outcome measures

Effect of lower tourniquet pressures based on SBP on post-operative tourniquet site pain

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Lower Tiered PressuresExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The study intervention is the inflation of the extremity tourniquet to a pressure lower than the standard pressure of 250 mmHg during hand surgery for these participants determined by tiered guidelines based on systolic blood pressure (SBP).

Group II: Standard PressureActive Control1 Intervention

The extremity tourniquet used during hand surgery for these participants will be the standard pressure of 250 mmHg.
