Simple arm squeeze could shield brain from surgery side effects
NCT ID NCT07420153
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple, non-invasive procedure called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) can help protect the brain from injury after non-heart surgery. RIPC involves briefly squeezing the arm with a blood pressure cuff to trigger the body's natural protective responses. Researchers will measure brain injury markers in the blood of 216 older patients who are at risk for post-surgery confusion to see if those who receive RIPC the day before surgery have less brain cell damage.
