BACKGROUND: Tourniquets have been modified and used for centuries to occlude blood flow to control hemorrhage. More recently, the occlusion of peripheral vessels has been linked to resultant increases in blood pressure, which may provide additional therapeutic potential, particularly during states of low cardiac output.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate a causal relationship between tourniquet application and blood pressure in healthy adults.
METHODS: Healthy adult volunteers were recruited to participate in this IRB-approved study. Each participant met inclusion criteria and demonstrated baseline normotension. Brachial cuff blood pressure and heart rate were recorded pre- and post-tourniquet application to the bilateral legs.
RESULTS: Twenty-seven adults aged 22 to 35 years participated and were included in analysis. The average systolic blood pressure was 122 ± 7 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure was 72 ± 9 mmHg, and heart rate was 70 ± 13 bpm. Following bilateral tourniquet application over the femoral vasculature, we observed a statistically significant increase in systolic (7 mmHg, p < 0.001) and diastolic (4 mmHg, p = 0.05) blood pressures with no significant change in heart rate (2 bpm, p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The elevations in systolic and diastolic blood pressures establish a dependent relationship between tourniquet application to the lower extremities and blood pressure elevation. These results may support new indications for tourniquet-use or extremity vessel occlusion in settings of hemodynamic instability.
