Brief Summary

As a simple auxiliary tool for lower extremity orthopedic surgery, tourniquet can effectively reduce intraoperative bleeding and ensure the clarity of the operative field, effectively shorten the operation time and improve the operation efficiency. The extensive use of tourniquets in lower extremity surgery will not only cause local paralysis, pain and other complications, but also bring about postoperative complications such as large drainage volume and deep vein thrombosis. Recent studies have found that tourniquet induced ischemia-reperfusion injury not only affects the local tissue structure and function of skeletal muscle, but also causes reperfusion injury in distant organs (such as heart, lung and brain). Therefore, improving tourniquet ischemia-reperfusion injury after knee replacement is of great significance to improve the quality of life of patients during the perioperative period. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine and tourniquet pretreatment on myocardial injury and brain injury caused by lower extremity ischemia-reperfusion.

Study Arms (4)

C group

SHAM COMPARATOR

Before induction of anesthesia, general anesthesia was performed after ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block

Drug: 0.9% Sodium chloride

DEX group

EXPERIMENTAL

Before induction of anesthesia, general anesthesia was performed after ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block. Dexmedetomidine 0.8μg/kg was pumped intravenously for 10min 15min before induction of anesthesia, and then continued to be infused at 0.5μg/ (kg·h) until 30min before the end of surgery

Drug: Dexmedetomidine

ERIPC group

EXPERIMENTAL

Before induction of anesthesia, ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block was performed, and then general anesthesia was performed. After induction of anesthesia, orthopedic tourniquet was tied and inflated to 200 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) for 5 min and deflated for 5 min, and three cycles were repeated

Device: Tourniquet(Early)

LRIPC group

EXPERIMENTAL

An orthopedic pressure tourniquet was placed on the lower extremity 24 h before surgery and inflated to 200 mmHg for 5 min and deflated for 5 min. Three cycles were repeated

Device: Tourniquet(Late)
