Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

no intervention

RIPC group

EXPERIMENTAL

Those undergoing remote ischemic postconditioning

Other: RIPC

Interventions

RIPCOTHER

Those undergoing remote ischemic postconditioning. Remote ischemic postconditioning consists of three 5-min cycles of upper limb ischemia, which was induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on the unilateral upper limb and inflated to 250 mm Hg, with an intervening 5 min of reperfusion during which the cuff was deflated.

Also known as: remote ischemic postconditioning
