Feng Qin, MD, is a respected presence in the New York medical world who practices vascular surgery with Beth Israel Hospital and St. John’s Episcopal Hospital. Feng Qin, MD, has conducted extensive research in his field and has co-authored papers such as "The tourniquet revisited as an adjunct to lower limb revascularization” (Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2000).
The paper documents a three-year study involving 195 patients who went through more than 200 lower-extremity infrainguinal reconstruction operations. Group One had a bypass with tourniquet and inflow occlusion, while Group Two had the bypass without the tourniquet. The researchers analyzed several variables in the study, including included infrainguinal reconstruction type, blood loss, tourniquet ischemia time, and tourniquet-related complications.
The study concluded that employing a tourniquet for revascularization of the lower limb was both effective and safe and enhanced operative field visualization. As a result, target blood-vessel dissection was reduced. One aspect not impacted by tourniquet use was overall procedural time required for operations, though complex and challenging phases of operations were expedited.
