Pneumatic tourniquets are routinely used in operating theatres worldwide. Generally, tourniquets are viewed as a relatively safe instrument with minimal complications. Nevertheless, Klenerman (2003) and Golder et al (2000) both suggest that caution should be exercised in tourniquet use. Furthermore Phillips (2004, p532) claims that, 'a tourniquet is dangerous to apply, to leave on and to remove'. This article will inform perioperative practitioners of the current research pertaining to the routine procedure of using pneumatic tourniquets to achieve a bloodless surgical field.
气压止血带在全球的手术室中都有常规使用。一般来说，止血带被视为一种相对安全、并发症极少的器械。然而，克莱纳曼（2003年）和戈尔德等人（2000年）都建议，使用止血带时应谨慎。此外，菲利普斯（2004年，第532页）声称，“应用、留置和移除止血带都是危险的”。本文将向围手术期从业者介绍有关使用气压止血带以获得无血手术视野的常规操作的当前研究情况。
