Sham remote ischemic preconditioning on the right arm is induced with a blood pressure cuff inflation at 20 mm Hg for 5 min and followed by a 5 min reperfusion at 0 mm Hg. The sham ischemia-reperfusion cycle is performed 3 times for a total of 30 min. This procedure is done after anesthetic induction, but before the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary bypass. A 20 mm Hg blood pressure cuff on the right arm does not induce ischemia.
Remote ischemic preconditioning on the right arm is induced with a blood pressure cuff inflation at 200 mm Hg for 5 min and followed by a 5 min reperfusion at 0 mm Hg. The ischemia-reperfusion cycle is performed 3 times for a total of 30 min. This procedure is done after anesthetic induction, but before the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary bypass.
