Remote ischaemic preconditioning versus no remote ischaemic preconditioning for vascular and endovascular surgical procedures

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, compared with no RIPC, RIPC probably leads to little or no difference in perioperative mortality, myocardial infarction, renal impairment, stroke, hospital stay, and operating time, and may lead to little or no difference in limb loss in people undergoing elective major vascular and endovascular surgery. Adequately powered and designed randomised studies are needed, focusing in particular on the clinical endpoints and patient-centred outcomes.PMID:36645250 | PMC:PMC9841888 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD008472.pub3
