The Effect of Pregabalin Given Preoperatively on the Tourniquet Induced Ischemia-reperfusion

Summary

The application of tourniquet is indispensable for a bloodless surgical area in total knee arthroplasty surgery. The release of tourniquet produces reactive oxygen species which can cause injury and then ischemia-reperfusion injury emerge. Our aim in this study is to investigate effects of pregabalin, GABA analog drug, on the tourniquet induced ischemia-reperfusion injury.
