Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Children Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Browse Studies

City:   Seattle
State:   Washington
Zip Code:   98105
Conditions:   Congenital Heart Disease - Cardiopulmonary Bypass - Myocardial Injury - Acute Kidney Injury - Acute Lung Injury
Purpose:   Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) is a treatment that may be associated with improved outcomes after cardiac surgery. It can be elicited noninvasively by using a tourniquet to elicit transient ischemia over a lower extremity. It is thought to promote anti-inflammatory and cell survival pathways, and thus protect remote organs against future ischemic injury. We hypothesize that compared to sham treatment, RIPC will be associated with decreased post-operative acute kidney, myocardial, and lung injury.
Study Summary:   In children undergoing cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), our primary aims are to determine whether RPC is associated with: 1) decreased AKI and 2) decreased acute myocardial injury. Secondary aims include investigating the effects of RPC on post-procedure: 1)acute lung injury and 2) morbidity/mortality.
Criteria:   Inclusion Criteria: Age birth to 18 years Cardiac surgery with planned cardiopulmonary bypass Exclusion Criteria: Any contraindication to compression of lower extremity/extremities Body weight <2 kg Active infection going into surgery On renal replacement therapy (RRT) or mechanical circulatory support going into surgery On inotropic support going into surgery
