Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • serum concentrations of s-100B,NSE

    1 week or more

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • a Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scale

    6 months

Study Arms (1)

A,2, II

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIPC)

Interventions

LRIPC consists of three 5-min cycles of right upper limb ischemia induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on the upper arm and inflated to 200 mmHg,with an intervening 5 min reperfusion during which the cuff is deflated.

Also known as: an automated cuff-inflator made in China
