First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed study compared two anesthesia methods—general anesthesia and infraclavicular block—in 106 adults undergoing upper arm surgery with a tourniquet. Researchers measured markers of oxidative stress and blood vessel function to see which method causes less damage. The goal is to identify the ideal anesthesia technique for these surgeries.
