Effects of Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning in Cemented Hip Arthroplasty.
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Total joint arthroplasty is one of the best treatment options for end-stage osteoarthritis. Cemented hip arthroplasty is mainly indicated for elderly patients with poor bone quality and multiple comorbidities. Bone cement implantation syndrome is associated with cemented hip arthroplasty and it has been shown to increase cardiovascular and renal complication and brain damage postoperatively. The aim of this project is to elucidate whether remote-ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has multi-organ protective effect in cemented hip arthroplasty patients.
