About this study

Official title: Impact of Limb Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Mortality, Hospitalization Costs and Quality of Life During Elective Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: a Randomized Controlled Trial

To investigate the influence of limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIP) on mortality, hospitalization costs and quality of life in patients undergoing open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.

Read the detailed description

Remote ischaemic preconditioning may confer the cytoprotection in critical organs. The investigators have revealed that limb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) would reduce intestinal and pulmonary injury in patients undergoing open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.Few groups have investigated the long term influence of limb remote ischemic preconditioning.Therefore, the investigators evaluated the impact of limb remote ischemic preconditioning on mortality, hospitalization costs and quality of life during elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in a prospective, randomized, controlled, single blind setting.

Being tested
limb RIPC

What participants receive

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

  • limb RIPCProcedure or surgery

    Also called 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

Study groups in NCT01910961
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
limb RIPCExperimentallimb 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 RIPC
conventionNo interventionAdult patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair received no treatment after induction of anaesthesia.The control group had an uninflated cuff placed on the left upper arm for 30 min.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing limb RIPC 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Cai Li, MD (+86-18602017796, licaigz@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

all cause mortality (time frame: one year). 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 NCT01910961, 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 30 Jul 2013.
