Randomized Controlled Trial
Limb Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Attenuates Lung Injury after Pulmonary Resection under Propofol-Remifentanil Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Remote ischaemic preconditioning was induced using a BP cuff on one arm with three 5-min-ON / 5-min-OFF cycles before surgical start. Patients receiving RIPC before elective thoracotomy and pulmonary resection experienced less acute lung injury (indicated by PaO2/FiO2) and a 30% shorter hospital stay compared to those who did not receive RIPC.
