In this single-center, double-blind, randomized clinical trial, the aim was to investigate whether applying a tourniquet to patients on dexamethasone and tranexamic acid could further reduce perioperative blood loss.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Patients who underwent cemented total knee arthroplasty at our hospital were randomized to receive a tourniquet (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200971) or not (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200970) during the procedure. All patients received multiple doses of dexamethasone and tranexamic acid perioperatively. The primary outcome was perioperative blood loss, while secondary outcomes were surgery duration, postoperative laboratory indices of inflammation and fibrinolysis, range of knee motion, VAS pain score, knee circumference, knee swelling rate, homologous transfusion, albumin use, and complications.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Using a tourniquet was associated with significantly lower intraoperative blood loss (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and total blood loss (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007) as well as significantly shorter surgery duration (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
