About this study

The patients were allocated randomly to receive remote preconditioning group (RIPC group, R) or not (Control group, C) using sealed envelopes with the options inside the sealed envelope of R and C before anaesthesia induction. The registered nurse who did not participate in patient care and was blind to the study performed the all randomization process. All medical staffs who involved the patient care were blind to the study. All data were collected by trained observers who were blind to the study and did not participate in patient care

Read the detailed description

RIPC was performed just after anesthesia induction and before the tourniquet application for the operation site. The tourniquet was applied at the opposite site of thigh in the both groups. The thigh was covered with blanket to conceal the tourniquet inflation and deflation. For R group, 3 cycles of tourniquet inflation for 5 minutes with 2 × systemic systolic arterial blood pressure of arrival at operation room and deflation were performed. For C group, the tourniquet was applied with same manner for R group except inflation pressure of 0 mmHg. The tourniquet pressure according to the randomization was set by the registered nurse who participated in the patients' allocation. The monitor of tourniquet pressure was sealed for blindness.

What participants receive

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

  • Remote ischemic preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    The tourniquet was applied at the opposite site from operation thigh in the both groups. The thigh was covered with blanket to conceal the tourniquet inflation and deflation. A total of 3 cycles of tourniquet inflation for 5 minutes with 2 × systemic systolic arterial blood pressure of arrival at operation room and deflation were performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of cerebral desaturation

    cerebral saturation will be assessed by using near infrared spectroscopy

    Measured: during operation time (an expected average of 2 hours)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of postoperative delirium

    postoperative delirium will be assessed by using CAM method.

    Measured: up to postoperative 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote ischemic preconditioning in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Konkuk University Medical Center at 1 site 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 3 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 20 Jun 2018. 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 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?

Incidence of cerebral desaturation (time frame: during operation time (an expected average of 2 hours)). 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 20 Jun 2018.
