remote ischaemic preconditioning
Remote ischaemic preconditioning consisted of three 5-min cycles of right upper arm ischaemia, which was induced by an automated cuff -inflator placed on the right upper arm and inflated to 200 mm Hg, with an intervening 5 min of reperfusion during which the cuff was deflated. There was a 5- to 10-min interval between completion of the remote ischaemic preconditioning protocol and initiation of bypass.Control patients had a deflated cuff placed on the right upper arm for 30 min.
