Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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. Cemented hip arthroplasty is strongly associated with bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS). It is characterized by hypoxia, hypotension and/or unexpected loss of consciousness occurring around the time of cementation, prosthesis insertion or reduction of the joint. It has been shown to increase cardiovascular and renal complication and brain damage postoperatively. Remote-ischemic preconditioning has shown kidney, myocardial and brain injury protective effect on non-cardiac surgery patients. The aim of this project is to elucidate whether remote-ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has multi-organ protective effect in cemented hip arthroplasty patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group

SHAM procedure is done one hour before cemented hip arthroplasty and comprises of 4 cycles of 5min sham procedure. Everything apart from the pressure in the cuff is similar to the RIPC procedure.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

SHAM

Intervention Type OTHER

4 cycles of 5min light pressure (no ischemia produced) with AutoRIC device (Starfish Medical, Canada) to imitate the RIPC procedure

Remote Ischemic preconditioning group

RIPC procedure is done one hour before cemented hip arthroplasty and comprises of 4 ischemia (using brachial cuff with suprasystolic blood pressure for 5 min) and reperfusion (5 min) cycles.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

4 cycles of 5 min pressure (produces an ischemia episode in subject's upper limb) with AutoRIC device (Starfish Medical, Canada)
