The effects of tourniquet deflation on optic nerve sheath diameter in lower limb orthopaedic surgeries [PDF]
Saudi Journal of AnaesthesiaBackground: Pneumatic tourniquets are used in orthopedic surgeries to provide a bloodless surgical area and reduce blood loss. Tourniquet inflation causes metabolic changes, leading to cerebral vasodilatation and increased intracranial pressure (ICP).

Pneumatic Tourniquet and Limb Blood Flow [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica, 1978 The response of limb circulation to tourniquet ischaemia in the hind limb of the rabbit was studied. Muscle blood flow was evaluated by means of a local isotope technique using Xe133 as the tracer and the changes occuring after tourniquet ischaemia of 60--180 minutes duration were investigated. The results obtained suggest that even when the tourniquet

Tourniquet use in total knee arthroplasty and systemic inflammation: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersBackground Pneumatic tourniquet use during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial. Although it reduces intraoperative blood loss, tourniquet-induced ischemia–reperfusion may amplify systemic inflammation.
