Hb, haemoglobin; HbO2, oxyhaemoglobin; VIO, vascular inflow occlusion; * = within group one-way ANOVA analysis: *, P<0.05 beginning of surgery vs. end of VIO & termination of VIO; **, P<0.05 beginning of surgery vs. end of surgery. # = between group unpaired t-test: #, P<0.05 full responders vs. partial responders.
