Article Synopsis
- - Maintaining intraoperative haemostasis is key for visibility and improved outcomes in wide-awake hand surgeries, particularly for conditions like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Finger release.
- - The study reviews the effectiveness of two main techniques: wide awake local anaesthesia without tourniquet (WALANT) and tourniquet with sedation, each having unique pros and cons.
- - A total of 45 articles were analyzed to determine the best practices for haemostasis in these surgeries and identify which patient populations benefit the most from tourniquet use.

Here, we identify the major factors that drive physicians' selection of glucose-lowering agents in the real world and how these factors may differ by physician's specialty. Methods A web-based survey was conducted among 135 physicians who manage patients with T2D in Saudi Arabia.
