THE TOURNIQUET IN SURGERY [PDF]
The history of surgery is to a large extent written around the record of its technical advances. A pneumatic tourniquet is a humble instrument, when compared with many of the more complicated mechanical devices in the modern operation theatre. Nevertheless, it has played a significant role in making possible the precise operations of present-day ...

Efficacy of Tourniquet Use in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Cohort Review
Background: The use of a tourniquet has become widely accepted as standard practice during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There are conflicting outcomes in using a tourniquet during TKA. This brings to question the role a tourniquet has in TKA. Therefore,

Reduction of myocardial infarction by calpain inhibitors A-705239 and A-705253 in isolated perfused rabbit hearts [PDF]
Two novel calpain inhibitors (A-705239 and A-705253) were studied in isolated perfused rabbit hearts subjected to 60-min occlusion of the ramus interventricularis of the left coronary artery (below the origin of the first diagonal branch), followed by ...

A "well-balanced" finite volume scheme for blood flow simulation [PDF]
We are interested in simulating blood flow in arteries with a one dimensional model. Thanks to recent developments in the analysis of hyperbolic system of conservation laws (in the Saint-Venant/ shallow water equations context) we will perform a simple ...

The effect of tourniquet padding on the efficiency of tourniquets of the upper limb [PDF]
We report the effect of padding on the efficiency of the pneumatic tourniquet for the upper limb. Varying thicknesses of two commercially-available types of orthopaedic padding (Cellona and Velband) were applied to the arms of 20 volunteers, with three pressure transducers placed directly beneath the padding.
