An inflatable neck tourniquet has been developed for compression of the jugular veins during neurosurgery in the sitting position. Neck compression abolishes the subatmospheric pressure within the neck veins and therefore minimises the risk of air embolism. Compression can be applied throughout the initial part of the operation, a major period of risk during these surgical procedures, and released once full surgical exposure has been achieved. Venous congestion is then released and normal operating conditions are restored.
一种用于坐位神经外科手术时压迫颈静脉的充气式颈部止血带已被研发出来。颈部压迫可消除颈静脉内的负压，从而将空气栓塞的风险降至最低。在手术的初始阶段（这些手术过程中的主要风险期）可全程进行压迫，一旦实现完全的手术暴露，即可解除压迫。然后解除静脉充血，恢复正常的手术条件。
