Summary

Major abdominal surgeries are associated with perioperative cardiac morbidity of up to 10%. Ischemic preconditioning may have a protective effect. The purpose of this study is to find out remote ischemic conditioning by inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm will have a protective effect.

Conditions

• Perioperative/Postoperative Complications

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Remote Ischemic Pre-conditioning	Cuff placed on arm. Three 5- minute cycles of blood pressure cuff inflation: cuff is inflated to 200 mm Hg for 5 minutes followed by a 5-minute deflation (reperfusion.)
PROCEDURE	Control	Cuff placed on arm uninflated for 30 minutes.
