Summary

Remote ischaemic preconditioning may confer the cytoprotection in critical organs. The investigators hypothesized that limb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) would reduce heart and gastrointestinal function injury in middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Conditions

• Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIP)	Limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIP) consisted of three cycles of left upper limb ischemia induced by inflating a blood pressure cuff on the left upper arm to 200mmHg, with an intervening 5 minutes of reperfusion, during which time the cuff was deflated.
