Application of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgeries

November 27, 2013 updated by: Orlando Petrucci, University of Campinas, Brazil

Evaluation of Remote Preconditioning on Heart Resistance to Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury

Strategies for myocardial protection during open heart surgeries are desired. Several experimental studies have shown beneficial effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC). The underlying mechanisms are not totally understood. This study intends to evaluate molecular mechanisms involved with RIPC on myocardium of patients underwent open heart surgeries.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: IRPC, Remote preconditioning
This group will be submitted to ischemic preconditioning
The patients will be submitted to 5 minutes of upper limb compression by cuff followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion. This cycle will be repeated 4 times.
PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Control
This patients will be submitted to the standard surgery protocol in the institution. The patients will not be submitted to 5 minutes of upper limb compression by cuff followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion.
