Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary outcome measure is postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction.

    Preoperative, 1 week and 3 months after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • New onset of atrial fibrillation, myocardial and kidney injury, cardiac function (previous NCT00882622 study).

    Within 24-48 hours after surgery

Study Arms (2)

RIPC

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning

Procedure: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning

CONTROL

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Control

Other: Control

Interventions

RIPC will be induced during anesthesia by four 5-min cycles of upper limb ischemia and 5-min reperfusion using a blood-pressure cuff inflated to 200 mmHg (at least a pressure 15 mm Hg greater than the systolic arterial pressure measured via the arterial line).

RIPC
ControlOTHER

Sham intervention with four 5-min cycles of inflation of the blood pressure cuff at 20 mmHg and 5 min deflation without any upper leg ischaemia.
