Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Abdominal Surgery
We are conducting a phase II randomized prospective trial at two affiliated hospitals. University Hospital and Trinitas Regional Medical Center - ClinicalTrials.gov
Identifier: NCT03234543
Brief Summary:
This phase II randomized (1:1) controlled trial will examine the effects of remote
ischemic conditioning (RIC) on the outcomes of major abdominal surgery. One hundred
subjects will be enrolled at a single institution - University Hospital - Newark. The
study population are patients undergoing major abdominal surgery (anticipated to be
>/= 2 hrs long with a hospital stay >/= 2 days). Subjects in the treatment group will
receive lower limb ischemic conditioning at 3 different time points: before surgery,
POD 1 and POD 2. The primary outcome is the 30-day comprehensive complications index
(CCI). Key secondary outcomes are changes in systemic inflammatory markers in
peripheral blood and 30-day mortality.
