Summary

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) with transient upper limb ischemia/reperfusion reduces myocardial injury in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery with cross-clamp fibrillation or blood cardioplegia for myocardial protection. The present study assesses protection of heart, brain and kidney by RIPC under crystalloid cardioplegic arrest. The study also addresses safety and clinical outcome.

Detailed description

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) protocol after induction of anesthesia and before skin incision consists of 3 cycles of 5 minutes left upper arm ischemia by inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mmHg and 5 minutes of reperfusion. For myocardial molecular analyses, left ventricular biopsies are taken before induction of cardioplegic cardiac arrest and at 10 minutes after aortic unclamping during reperfusion of the myocardium.

PROCEDURERIPC3 cycles of 5 min left upper arm ischemia by inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mmHg and 5 min reperfusion
PROCEDUREControlCoronary artery bypass surgery without remote ischemic preconditioning protocol
DRUGisoflurane+sufentanil anesthesiaAnaesthesia is maintained by inhaled isoflurane in concentrations 0.7-0.8 % end-tidal with additional sufentanil injected during surgery, as required. During extracorporal circulation patients receive isoflurane via a vaporizer incorporated in the extracorporeal gas supply in the same concentrations.
