What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RIPC (remote ischemic preconditioning)Other

    RIPC will be performed by four 5-min cycles of lower limb ischemia and 5 in reperfusion using blood-pressure cuff inflated to a pressure 15 mmHg greater than the systolic arterial pressure measured via arterial line.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. troponin level

    troponin level will be checked 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours after operation. Ater making a graph (troponin-time), area under the curve will bw calculated.

    Measured: within the 1 day after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RIPC (remote ischemic preconditioning) in people with Cyanosis, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 2 sites in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

troponin level (time frame: within the 1 day after operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2012.
