About this study

Official title: Limb Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Reduces Heart and Lung Injury After Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair:A Randomized Controlled Trial

To investigate whether limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIP) has protective effects against intestinal and pulmonary injury in patients undergoing open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.

Read the detailed description

Remote ischaemic preconditioning may confer the cytoprotection in critical organs. We hypothesized that limb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) would reduce intestinal and pulmonary injury in patients undergoing open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.The primary outcomes included the biomarkers reflecting intestinal injury (serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein, endotoxin levels and diamine oxidase activity) and the variables reflecting pulmonary injury (arterial-alveolar oxygen tension ratio, alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference and respiratory index). In addition, the severity of intestinal and pulmonary injury was assessed with different scoring methods, respectively. Markers of oxidative stress and systemic inflammation were measured as well.

What participants receive

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

  • Limb remote ischemic preconditioning(LRIP)Procedure or surgery

    Also called LRIP

    LRIP consisted of three cycles of left upper limb ischemia induced by inflating a blood pressure cuff on the left upper arm to 200mmHg, with an intervening 5 minutes of reperfusion, during which time the cuff was deflated.

Study groups in NCT01344239
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Limb RIPCExperimentalThe limb RIPC protocol was applied after anesthetic induction and before the start of surgery. The limb RIPC was induced by placing a blood pressure cuff on the left upper arm of patient for three inflating-deflating cycles: 5 min inflating to 200 mmHg followed by a 5 min reperfusion with deflating the cuff.
Receives: Procedure: Limb remote ischemic preconditioning(LRIP)
conventionNo interventionAdult patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair received no treatment after induction of anaesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. Limb remote ischemic preconditioning has effective protection of lung injury in patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

    Compared with the control group, patients in the LRIP group had significantly higher Cs and Cd , along with lower PA-aDO2 and RI at various phase (P<0.05). Serum concentration of IL-6,IL-8, TNF-ɑ and MDA in LRIP group were decreased significantly at postoperative time points compared with those in control group (P<0.05), but SOD was increased significantly at the same time (P<0.05). Patient's ventilator support time and duration of ICU stay in LRIP group were shorter than that in control group (P<0.05)

    Measured: June,2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Limb remote ischemic preconditioning(LRIP) in people with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, run by Cai Li.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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 14 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Limb remote ischemic preconditioning has effective protection of lung injury in patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (time frame: June,2011). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01344239, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 May 2013.
