Use of a temporary forearm tourniquet for intravenous regional anaesthesia: a randomised controlled trial.
To investigate the effect of a temporary, additional mid-forearm tourniquet on the quality of intravenous regional anaesthesia. ⋯ Our results suggest that a temporary mid-forearm tourniquet might speed the onset of intravenous regional anaesthesia. Although the advantage is lost by the time surgery starts, the technique might permit the use of a smaller dose of local anaesthetic and may have safety advantages by more rapid movement of anaesthetic out of the venous bed. The technique merits further investigation.
