Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Kidney Injury Among High-Risk Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery A Randomized Clinical Trial
This very interesting multicentre Cleveland Clinic study looked at remote ischemic preconditioning (3 cycles of 5-minute ischemia and 5-minute reperfusion in one upper arm after induction of anesthesia) or sham remote ischemic preconditioning (control), both via blood pressure cuff inflation in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. These results show that ischemic preconditioning significantly reduced both the rate of acute kidney injury and the need for renal replacement.
