Assessment of the Pneumatic Ischemia Technique Using the Limb Occlusion Pressure During Upper Limb Surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to evaluate effective ischemia and its associated complications using the limb occlusion pressure technique versus standard pneumatic ischemia technique.

Design: Single-centered randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Methods: One hundred sixty participants were randomized into two equal and parallel groups: (1) intervention group-LOP technique, and (2) control group-standard pneumatic ischemia technique.

Variables to Predict Mortality in Hip Fractures in Patients Over 65 Years of Age: A Study on the Role of Anticoagulation as a Risk Factor.

The objective of this research was to study the possible relationship between the consumption of dicoumarinic agents (understanding the consumption of acenocoumarol as regulated and monitored anticoagulation) and the mortality rate in people older than 65 years undergoing a hip fracture (HF) intervention. It was a retrospective, observational and descriptive study. Nine hundred fifty-seven patients were included who underwent an intervention for HF between the years 2012 and 2014 in a third-level hospital.
