This trial tests an experimental drug called BT-114143 to see if it reduces bleeding during and after total knee replacement surgery. It may be a good option for people with osteoarthritis who are having their first knee replacement.
This trial compares using a tourniquet versus not using one during knee replacement surgery. It aims to find out which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This trial tests different tourniquet models used in emergencies to stop blood flow in arms and legs. It may help find the best way to control bleeding before reaching a hospital.
This study looks at whether using a tourniquet during ankle fracture surgery affects healing, leg movement, and patient-reported recovery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable approach for surgery.
This study tests two ways of releasing a tourniquet (a pressure cuff) after arm surgery to see which keeps blood pressure more stable in people with controlled high blood pressure. If you are having arm or hand surgery with a tourniquet, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (numbing injection near the thigh) combined with a tourniquet (pressure cuff) after knee replacement surgery reduces pain better than standard care. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
