A review of the use of the tourniquet in limb surgery

Most orthopedic operations utilize tourniquets frequently, but because they frequently cause major complications, we decided to study and approve their safe usage and teaching. We looked through full-text English papers and nonEnglish article abstracts while conducting searches for "tourniquet" in PubMed and Google. Additionally, we browsed through every article's reference page in search of fresh sources. When used properly, the tourniquet can be used to avoid major but uncommon complications that can occur when it is used during orthopedic surgery. There isn't enough proof right now to stop using tourniquets regularly.
