The release of tourniquet produces reactive oxygen species which can cause injury. Propofol is chemically similar to phenol-based free radical scavengers. Plasma total antioxidant capacity is a well-established marker of the overall protective effect of antioxidants in body fluids.The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of propofol on ischemia-reperfusion injury in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
