During tourniquet application, there is no blood flow to the limb, resulting in ischemia. During this time, there are local changes from the anaerobic metabolism and upon release of the tourniquet the pooled blood and metabolites from the ischemic limb are released into the systemic circulation. The extreme situation would be what is called in human medicine “rescue cardioplegia,” which consists of myocardial stunning (stopping) that can occur immediately following the release of a compressing force, harness or tourniquet [108].
