Sterile Exsanguination Tourniquet for Femoral-Related Pediatric Surgeries: A Randomized Trial .
Perioperative blood loss reduction using a sterile exsanguination tourniquet for orthopedic femoral-related surgeries in children: a randomized controlled study.
J Orthop Surg Res. 2023 Aug 8;18(1):580.31 pediatric patients scheduled for a femur-related surgery were included in this interim analysis of a randomized trial comparing sterile exsanguination tourniquet (SET) (n=15) or no tourniquet (n=16). The outcomes of interest included blood loss, postoperative blood transfusion, intraoperative blood loss, total drainage volume, hemoglobin level, and operative time. The results showed the SET group to have significantly lower total blood loss, transfusion volume, intra-operative blood loss, and a shorter operative time compared to the no tourniquet group.
