Résumé de l'étude

The aim of the study is to verify whether the inflation-deflation procedure of the blood pressure cuff performed immediately after the induction of general anesthesia (this procedure is called remote ischemic preconditioning) during non-cardiac surgery at medium and high risk can reduce cardiac damage and the incidence of adverse events in the postoperative period. The participant will be randomly assigned to one of the two study groups. One group will undergo 3 cycles of inflation-deflation of the blood pressure cuff immediately after the induction of general anesthesia. Each cycle consists of 5 minutes of inflation followed by 5 minutes of deflation. The other group, however, will not undergo the inflation-deflation procedure of the blood pressure cuff (control). Neither the participant nor the study staff, except for the anesthetist performing the procedure, will know which group the participant is assigned to. In addition to the normal hematochemical checks and the normal assessments required for the surgical procedure according to standard procedures, the participant will undergo measurement of troponin (a substance released in case of cardiac damage) and an electrocardiogram (ECG) before and after the surgical intervention. The participant will be followed before, during, and after the surgical intervention until discharge from the hospital. A telephone check on health status is planned 30 days and 1 year after the surgical intervention.

Intervention étudiée

Experimental group (inflation-deflation procedure of the blood pressure cuff): the blood pressure cuff will be placed on one arm (or leg) immediately after the induction of general anesthesia and will be inflated for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of deflation. This procedure will be performed 3 times.

Control group: no inflation-deflation procedure of the blood pressure cuff. The blood pressure cuff will be placed on one arm (or leg) but will not be inflated or deflated.
