Summary
Pneumatic tourniquet is usually used in orthopedic surgeries, as it helps to decrease
operative bed bleeding, and thus, maintaining a clean and dry surgical field allowing easy
and clear identification of the anatomical structures. Despite that advantage, after its
deflation, there is a blood volume shift towards that ischemic area, which may decrease
cardiac preload leading to hypotension
