Effects of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning During Free Flap Reconstruction

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2018
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been revealed organ-protective effect in many previous clinical settings including coronary intervention or cardiovascular surgery. However its protective role during free flap reconstructive surgery in head and neck cancer patients has not yet been elucidated. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effect of RIPC on tissue oxygen saturation and skin temperature of the flap, as well as its organ-protective effect using Langendorff isolated heart ischemia-reperfusion model.
