Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Increasing the fractional inspired oxygen concentration to 0.5 and 0.8 from 0.3 at the time of reperfusion. This is achieved by altering oxygen concentration on the ventilator. This is a one off treatment started 10 minutes before tourniquet release and continued until 30 minutes after tourniquet release.
Intervention code [1] 4105 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
Keeping the fractional inspired oxygen concentration at 0.3 at the time of reperfusion. This is a one off treatment started 10 minutes before tourniquet release and continued until 30 minutes after tourniquet release.
