About this study

Official title: Effects of Limb Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for Prevention of Delirium in Elderly Patients After Non-cardiac Surgery:a Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial

To investigate whether limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIP) could safely decrease the incidence of delirium in elderly patients after non-cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

Remote ischaemic preconditioning may confer the cytoprotection in critical organs. We hypothesized that limb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) would safely decrease the incidence of delirium in elderly patients after non-cardiac surgery.The primary outcomes included the incidence of delirium in the first 7 days after surgery using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) scale.The quality of recovery over a 6-month period was evaluated as well.Secondary endpoints included length of stay in the hospital after surgery (from day of surgery to hospital discharge), occurrence of non-delirium postoperative complications, and all-cause 6-month mortality.

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 NCT03028389
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 interventionElderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery 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. the incidence of delirium

    Measured: in 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 Elderly Patients and Non-cardiac Surgery, run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2017. 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 Jian Liu, MD (+86-15013228487, launfyy@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the incidence of delirium (time frame: in 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 23 Jan 2017.
