Clinical Trial of Remote Preconditioning in Patients Undergoing Cervical Decompression Surgery

February 24, 2011 updated by: Xijing Hospital

Effects of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Biochemical Markers and Neurological Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Elective Cervical Decompression Surgery

The purpose of this study is to assess whether a large clinical trial testing the effect of RIPC on neurologic outcome in patients undergoing elective cervical decompression surge is warranted.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury commonly contribute to perioperative morbidity and mortality after elective cervical decompression surgery.Remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC)is a phenomenon whereby brief periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion in one organ provide system protection from prolonged ischemia.The hypothesis of this protocol is that limb ischemic preconditioning could reduces spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by elective cervical decompression surgery.Serum s-100B and NSE concentration will be measured before and after induction ,and at 6 hours,1,3,5 and 7days after surgery.JOA scores in all the cases will be evaluated before operation and at 7days ,1,3,6 month after surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: A,2, II
LRIPC consists of three 5-min cycles of right upper limb ischemia induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on the upper arm and inflated to 200 mmHg,with an intervening 5 min reperfusion during which the cuff is deflated.
