Table 2. Tourniquet time.

Long tourniquet times (≥90 minutes) were associated with higher amounts of intraoperative pain medications administered (mg of OME) than short tourniquet times (<90 minutes).

*The amount of pain medications are expressed in milligrams of OME. The amounts depicted in this table are amounts given after the hemodynamic change that was suspected to be due to tourniquet pain.

OME: oral morphine equivalents

Tourniquet Time N Mean (mg)* SD (mg) P-value
Long 82 19.0 22 <0.001
