Adaptation of the rubber bandage for safe use as tourniquet
Get PDFThe safety of the pneumatic tourniquet lies in the fact that the
pressure generated beneath it can be determined and is reproducible
unlike the rubber bandage tourniquet with subjective and irreproducible
tissue pressure. Application of the rubber bandage over the cuff of an
aneroid sphygmomanometer enabled direct determination of tourniquet
pressure in sixty-four patients with associated low rate of tourniquet
related complications. Seventy-eight limbs, in sixty-four patients,
were operated using this composite tourniquet and evaluation after
surgery as well as out-patients' clinic follow-up for tourniquet
complications revealed complications in six out of eight patients in
whom the tourniquet time exceeded 120minutes. In conclusion, the
inclusion of an aneroid sphygmomanometer to record tourniquet pressure
enhanced the safety of the rubber bandage tourniquet in our study and
offers an alternative to the pneumatic type in the attainment of
bloodless field where the latter is unavailable
