Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Hand Volume Following Tourniquet Use — 15.0; 12.1; 12.5; 7.9 mL
Summary
The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the acute impact of swelling caused by low-pressure tourniquet use in the setting of ipsilateral prior axillary lymph node dissection and the change in swelling reduction following tourniquet use in three limb postures versus healthy volunteers.
