In the process of knee replacement surgery, the use of tourniquet technology for hemostasis is the most common method. But the adverse reactions of tourniquets in knee replacement surgery have become more prominent in recent years. More and more scholars have begun to advocate the optimization of the use of tourniquet technology, thereby controlling the use of tourniquet technology. In this study, 125 patient cases were randomly divided into four experimental groups for comparative analysis. The two sets of variables are whether to use tourniquet during surgery and use intravenous analgesia or nerve block analgesia. Studies have shown that when using a tourniquet for knee replacement surgery, the chance of hidden blood loss increases after use. The tourniquet was not used during the operation, the patient's thighs were swollen, and postoperative pain was reduced. Compared with intravenous analgesia, knee joint replacement with uncontrolled tourniquet combined with femoral nerve block has a better analgesic effect and can effectively relieve pain after knee replacement. Therefore, under the method of controlled hypotension combined with femoral nerve block, TKA surgery without using tourniquet technology is more conducive to early health recovery and pain relief after TKA surgery, as well as functional exercise and knee joint recovery during postoperative recovery.
