Inne nazwy pneumatic tourniquetarm tourniquet
An inflatable cuff placed around the upper arm or forearm and pumped up to keep the operating area free of blood, giving the surgeon a clear view. An inflated tourniquet is uncomfortable for an awake person, so it is often combined with a regional block, sedation or a general anaesthetic. WALANT avoids it by using adrenaline instead.
