Surgical Field Quality Assessment and Complications in Distal Radius Fractures Using the Minimum Inflation Tourniquet Pressure.
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
PNEUMATIC TOURNIQUET INFLATION PRESSURE: Patients undergoing osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures will be randomised in two groups: pneumatic cuff pressure calculated based on Limb Occlusion Pressure, and pneumatic cuff pressure calculated based on Arterial Occlusion Pressure, without adding any security margin in any group.
Study summary
Analyse surgical field bleeding, surgical time, and intraoperative pain in patients undergoing osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures using ischaemia pressure calculated based on Limb Occlusion Pressure, compared with Arterial Occlusion Pressure. Additionally, compare muscle damage and postoperative complications, and clinical, functional, quality of life and radiological outcomes at one-year follow-up.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- SURGICAL FIELD BLEEDING — At the end of the surgery.
Fromme scale (0-5). Assessed by the main surgeon. 0 (the best) - 5 (the worst) - ISCHAEMIA TIME — Measured at the end of the surgery.
Measured in minutes. It refers to the duration from the onset of pneumatic ischemia until its cessation, prior to wound closure at the end of the surgery. - INTRAOPERATORY PAIN — Measured 60 minutes after the start of the surgery.
Pain caused by the pneumatic cuff on the arm, measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (0-10). 0 (the best) - 10 (the worst) - COMPLICATIONS — During the surgery or the immediate postoperative period.
Any cutaneous, muscular, vascular or nervous complication. - MUSCLE DAMAGE — In postoperative blood tests 60 minutes after surgery.
Assessed based on creatine kinase (CK) levels. Expressed in μmol/L. - LIMB OCCLUSION PRESSURE — Measured inside the operating room immediately prior to the start of surgery.
Measured in mmHg. Automatically recorded by placing a distal sensor on the index finger (second digit) of the hand, connected to the pneumatic ischemia device. No safety margin will be applied. A single measurement will be taken. - ARTERIAL OCCLUSION PRESSURE — Measured inside the operating room immediately prior to the start of surgery.
Expressed in mmHg. Calculated using the formula: systolic blood pressure + 100 mmHg.
