NCT01450475

Brief Summary

Cardiac surgery is associated with cardiac and cerebral injury because of ischemia/reperfusion in approximately one third of cases. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC), have been shown to reduce the extent of myocardial infarction (MI). As another ischemic conditioning, remote ischemic postconditioning, limits MI size in animal models. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cardiac and cerebral protective effect of remote ischemic postconditioning in children undergoing cardiac surgery, as a single-center, randomized controlled trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • cTnI,CK-MB concentration

    The primary outcome is assessing whether cTnI or CK-MB concentration reduce at 24 hours after remote ischemic postconditioning.

    24h after Remote Ischemic Postconditioning

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • NSE,S100β concentration

    24 hours after Remote Ischemic Postconditioning

Study Arms (2)

Remote ischemic postconditioning

EXPERIMENTAL

At the time of reperfusion, remote ischaemic postconditioning will be induced by inflating a cuff around leg to 100 mmHg for 5 mins followed by 5 mins of reperfusion. This cycle will be repeated 3 times.

Procedure: Remote ischemic postconditioning

control

NO INTERVENTION

A blood cuff was around leg without inflation or deflation.

Interventions

At the time of reperfusion, remote ischaemic postconditioning will be induced by inflating a cuff around leg to 100 mmHg for 5 mins followed by 5 mins of reperfusion. This cycle will be repeated 3 times.

Also known as: Limb ischemic postconditioning
