BLOOD LOSS, INFLAMMATION, ADVERSE EFFECTS, THROMBOSIS
Our randomized trial suggests that applying tourniquets to patients undergoing TKA involving multiple doses of dexamethasone and tranexamic acid can reduce perioperative blood loss without increasing HBL, postoperative inflammation, or risk of thrombosis, even though these have been described as adverse effects of tourniquets in orthopedic procedures such as TKA.
