Análise comparativa da dor em pacientes submetidos à artroplastia total do joelho em relação aos níveis pressóricos do torniquete pneumático

The use of the pneumatic tourniquet pressure at 350 mmHg or systolic blood pressure plus 100 mmHg did not influence the pain, blood loss, ROM, and complications. Therefore the pressures at these levels are safe and do not change the surgery outcomes; the time of ischemia must be closely observed to avoid major complications.
