This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of topical paraffin oil application in preventing tourniquet-related skin lesions in patients undergoing upper extremity surgery. Pneumatic tourniquets are commonly used to provide a bloodless surgical field; however, they may cause skin complications such as erythema, edema, abrasions, blisters, and burns. In this study, adult patients undergoing elective upper extremity surgery will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving topical paraffin oil application in addition to routine protective dressing or a control group receiving routine care only. Skin integrity will be assessed immediately after tourniquet removal and at 30 and 60 minutes postoperatively using standardized skin assessment criteria. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of effective, simple, and cost-efficient strategies to prevent tourniquet-related skin complications and improve patient safety and postoperative comfort.
