Summary

This study tests whether applying paraffin oil to the skin before using a tourniquet (a tight band that stops blood flow) during arm surgery can prevent skin injuries like redness, blisters, or burns. About 90 adults having elective upper arm surgery will be randomly assigned to get either standard care or standard care plus paraffin oil. Researchers will check the skin right after the tourniquet is removed and again at 30 and 60 minutes later.
