| Tpre (n=71) | Tpost (n=71) | Percentage change from Tpre [(Tpost–Tpre)/Tpre] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Correlation coefficient | P value | Correlation coefficient | P value | Correlation coefficient | P value | |
| StO, baseline (%) | 0.127 | 0.291 | 0.212 | 0.075 | 0.073 | 0.544 |
| StO, minimum (%) | 0.076 | 0.529 | 0.090 | 0.457 | 0.043 | 0.723 |
| StO, maximum (%) | 0.160 | 0.182 | 0.166 | 0.166 | −0.054 | 0.653 |
| Time to baseline StO (s) | −0.009 | 0.940 | 0.329 | 0.005 | 0.258 | 0.030 |
| ∇occl (%/s) | 0.077 | 0.522 | 0.065 | 0.590 | −0.051 | 0.670 |
| ∇recov (%/s) | 0.052 | 0.667 | −0.319 | 0.007 | −0.316 | 0.007 |
| Tpre – before the induction of general anesthesia; Tpost – 30 min after the induction of general anesthesia; StO – tissue oxygen saturation; ∇occl – slope of StO descent to the lowest value during tourniquet inflation; ∇recov – slope from the minimum to baseline StO during tourniquet deflation. | ||||||
