Tourniquets were applied to one knee, while the contralateral knee served as a control. Evaluations were conducted at two and four weeks, and at three and twelve months postoperatively, employing paired t-tests and mixed-effects linear modeling for data analysis.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nAged 18 years or older, planned for bilateral cemented primary TKA due to osteoarthritis during the same session. and showed a uniform degree of osteoarthritis determined by the Kellgren-Lawrence classification\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nnon-Danish speaking patients, unable to cooperate for VAS scoring, coagulation disorders, salicylate-induced asthma, severe thrombocytopenia, serious heart failure, severe liver failure, hypovolemia (any cause), dehydration, angioedema, bronchospasm, undergoing lithium treatment, suspected or manifest gastrointestinal bleeding, cerebrovascular bleeding, high postoperative bleeding risk or delayed hemostasis, hypersensitivity to adrenaline, sympathomimetics or excipients , hypertrophic or ischemic heart disease, undergoing dihydroergotamine treatment and thyrotoxicosis'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06228651', 'briefTitle': 'The Effect of the Tourniquet in Bilateral Total Knee Replacement', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Odense University Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Functional Outcome of the Arterial Tourniquet in Total Knee Arthroplasty- a RCT of Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasties.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 's-20150100'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Tourniquet', 'description': 'The leg with the tourniquet which was inflated during surgery', 'interventionNames': ['Device: Tourniquet']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Control', 'description': 'The leg without the tourniquet which was not inflated during surgery', 'interventionNames': ['Other: The leg without the tourniquet']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Tourniquet', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'armGroupLabels': ['Tourniquet']}, {'name': 'The leg without the tourniquet', 'type': 'OTHER', 'armGroupLabels': ['Control']}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Odense University Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
