Effect of RIPC on the Prevention of POD in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Postoperative delirium (POD) is one of the most frequent neurological complications in elderly patients and is closely associated with longer ICU stay and hospitalization, deterioration of long-term neurocognitive function, and increased mortality. The incidence of POD is significantly higher in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery than in other populations. Therefore, the prevention of POD is an important clinical problem to be solved urgently. In this study, we intend to observe the effect of RIPC on the prevention and treatment of POD in patients undergoing cardiac surgery through a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Experimental: RIPC RIPC was induced with 3 cycles of 5 minutes of ischaemia and 5 minutes of reperfusion on the upper arm. By using blood pressure cuff inflation, patients in the RIPC group were exposed to a pressure 50 mmHg higher than the systolic radial artery pressure baseline. |
Device: RIPC induced with 3 cycles of 5 minutes of ischaemia and 5 minutes of reperfusion
RIPC was induced with 3 cycles of 5 minutes of ischaemia and 5 minutes of reperfusion on the upper arm. By using blood pressure cuff inflation, patients in the RIPC group were exposed to a pressure 50 mmHg higher than the systolic radial artery pressure baseline.

No Intervention: Con The control group had a deflated cuff placed on the upper arm for the same time. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of postoperative delirium [7 days postoperatively or before discharge, whichever came first]
Patients were assessed for postoperative delirium by the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) from the time they were transferred to the ICU at the end of surgery until 7 days postoperatively or before discharge, whichever came first
