Trial summary

Remote ischaemic preconditioning may confer the cytoprotection in critical organs. The investigators hypothesized that limb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) would reduce heart and gastrointestinal function injury in middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

About this study

Remote ischaemic preconditioning may confer the cytoprotection in critical organs.

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

    Limb remote ischemic preconditioning (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.

What is being measured

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

  1. Limb remote ischemic preconditioning may have effective protection of heart and intestinal in middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

    We hypothesized that limb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) would reduce heart and intestinal injury in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.The primary outcomes included the biomarkers reflecting intestinal injury (serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein, endotoxin levels and),time (hours) from end of operation to first passage of stool or flatus,the biomarker reflecting heart injury (CTnI,serum heart fatty acid binding protein ).Perioperative electrocardiographic was also recorded. In addition, the severity of intestinal injury was assessed with pathological scoring methods. Markers of systemic inflammation (CRP) were measured as well.

    Measured: within the first 7 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIP) in people with Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery, run by Fei Li at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Fei Li (86-13580374947, lifei2006mz@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Limb remote ischemic preconditioning may have effective protection of heart and intestinal in middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery. (time frame: within the first 7 days after surgery). 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 16 Apr 2013.
