Does Anesthetic Technique Affect Pneumatic Tourniquet Pressures in Upper Limb Fracture Surgery?

"Upper limb fracture surgery will be performed with the aid of a pneumatic tourniquet.~The cuff (11 cm) of the tourniquet will be placed around the arm with the distal edge 5 cm above the olecranon. AOP estimation formula according to initial systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Tissue Padding Coefficient (KTP) values (AOP= \[SBP+10\]/KTP) from a list (Table 1) will be used to calculate AOP (17). After calculation of AOP, a safety margin of 20 mmHg will be added to AOP to determine the TP (TP=AOP+20 mm Hg). Exsanguination of the limb will be provided with an Esmarch bandage and the cuff will be inflated to the predetermined TP. TP will be manually raised in response to each 10 mmHg increase in SBP during the surgical procedure."
