  • Title: Tourniquet occlusion technique for lower extremity artery reconstruction in war wound.
    Author: Lovric Z, Lehner V, Wertheimer B, Kosic-Lovric L.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 1997 Apr; 38(2):153-5. PubMed ID: 9201126.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of blood vessels after war injuries is mandatory for life and limb salvage. In an effort to prevent prolonged major bleeding and make reconstruction quicker and technically more comfortable, thigh pneumatic tourniquet occlusion was performed pre- and intraoperatively in eleven of 53 wounded with injuries of the arteries of the lower extremities during 1991/92 war against Croatia at the Department of Surgery, Osijek Clinical Hospital. This method benefits life and limb salvage under war conditions.
