Limb occlusion pressure versus standard tourniquet inflation pressure in minor hand surgery: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2023 Background In minor hand surgery, tourniquet is typically inflated to 250 mmHg. The pressure may be too high and cause unnecessary adverse effects. Limb occlusion pressure plus safety margin or recommended tourniquet pressure (RTP), has been reported as ...

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyBlood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it

Limb composition: implications for the determination of arterial occlusion pressure [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyBackgroundBlood flow restriction (BFR) training involves exercising under partial vascular occlusion to induce muscular adaptations, and the accurate determination of arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) is essential for its safe and effective prescription.
