Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the renoprotective effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN). Data from 59 patients with solitary renal tumors who underwent RAPN with RIPC comprising three cycles of 5-min inflation to 200 mmHg of a blood pressure cuff applied to one lower limb followed by 5-min reperfusion by cuff deflation, from 2018 to 2020 were analyzed. Patients who underwent RAPN for solitary renal tumors without RIPC between 2018 and 2020 were selected as controls. The postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the nadir during hospitalization and the percentage change from baseline were compared using propensity score matching analysis. We performed a sensitivity analysis with imputations for missing postoperative renal function data weighted by the inverse probability of the data being observed. Of the 59 patients with RIPC and 482 patients without RIPC, 53 each were matched based on propensity scores. No significant differences in the postoperative eGFR in mL/min/1.73 m2 at nadir (mean difference 3.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] - 2.8 to 10.4) and its percentage change from baseline (mean difference 4.7; 95% CI - 1.6 to 11.1) were observed between the two groups. Sensitivity analysis also indicated no significant differences. No complications were associated with the RIPC. In conclusion, we found no significant evidence of the protective effect of RIPC against renal dysfunction after RAPN. Further research is required to determine whether specific patient subgroups benefit from RIPC.Trial registration number: UMIN000030305 (December 8, 2017).

Papadopoulou A, Dickinson M, Samuels TL, Heiss C, Forni L, Creagh-Brown B. Efficacy of remote ischaemic preconditioning on outcomes following non-cardiac non-vascular surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Perioper Med (Lond) 2023; 12:9. [PMID: 37038219 PMCID: PMC10084674 DOI: 10.1186/s13741-023-00297-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been investigated as a simple intervention to potentially mitigate the ischaemic effect of the surgical insult and reduce postoperative morbidity. This review systematically evaluates the effect of RIPC on morbidity, including duration of hospital stay and parameters reflective of cardiac, renal, respiratory, and hepatic dysfunction following non-cardiac non-vascular (NCNV) surgery. METHODS The electronic databases PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched from their inception date to November 2021. Studies investigating the effect of local preconditioning or postconditioning were excluded. Methodological quality and risk of bias were determined according to the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomised trials (RoB 2). Calculation of the odds ratios and a random effects model was used for dichotomous outcomes and mean differences or standardised mean differences as appropriate were used for continuous outcomes. The primary outcomes of interest were cardiac and renal morbidity, and the secondary outcomes included other organ function parameters and hospital length of stay. RESULTS A systematic review of the published literature identified 36 randomised controlled trials. There was no significant difference in postoperative troponin or acute kidney injury. RIPC was associated with lower postoperative serum creatinine (9 studies, 914 patients, mean difference (MD) - 3.81 µmol/L, 95% confidence interval (CI) - 6.79 to - 0.83, p = 0.01, I2 = 5%) and lower renal stress biomarker (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), 5 studies, 379 patients, standardized mean difference (SMD) - 0.66, 95% CI - 1.27 to - 0.06, p = 0.03, I2 = 86%). RIPC was also associated with improved oxygenation (higher PaO2/FiO2, 5 studies, 420 patients, MD 51.51 mmHg, 95% CI 27.32 to 75.69, p < 0.01, I2 = 89%), lower biomarker of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde (MDA), 3 studies, 100 patients, MD - 1.24 µmol/L, 95% CI - 2.4 to - 0.07, p = 0.04, I2 = 91%)) and shorter length of hospital stay (15 studies, 2110 patients, MD - 0.99 days, 95% CI - 1.75 to - 0.23, p = 0.01, I2 = 88%). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis did not show an improvement in the primary outcomes of interest with the use of RIPC. RIPC was associated with a small improvement in certain surrogate parameters of organ function and small reduction in hospital length of stay. Our results should be interpreted with caution due to the limited number of studies addressing individual outcomes and the considerable heterogeneity identified.

Protective role of remote ischemic conditioning in renal transplantation and partial nephrectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Front Surg 2023; 10:1024650. [PMID: 37091267 PMCID: PMC10113469 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1024650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
ObjectiveStudies have shown that remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can effectively attenuate ischemic-reperfusion injury in the heart and brain, but the effect on ischemic-reperfusion injury in patients with kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy remains controversial. The main objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate whether RIC provides renal protection after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy.MethodsA computer-based search was conducted to retrieve relevant publications from the PubMed database, Embase database, Cochrane Library and Web of Science database. We then conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that met our study inclusion criteria.ResultsEleven eligible studies included a total of 1,145 patients with kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy for systematic review and meta-analysis, among whom 576 patients were randomly assigned to the RIC group and the remaining 569 to the control group. The 3-month estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was improved in the RIC group, which was statistically significant between the two groups on kidney transplantation [P < 0.001; mean difference (MD) = 2.74, confidence interval (CI): 1.41 to 4.06; I2 = 14%], and the 1- and 2-day postoperative Scr levels in the RIC group decreased, which was statistically significant between the two groups on kidney transplantation (1-day postoperative: P < 0.001; MD = 0.10, CI: 0.05 to 0.15, I2 = 0; 2-day postoperative: P = 0.006; MD = 0.41, CI: 0.12 to 0.70, I2 = 0), but at other times, there was no significant difference between the two groups in Scr levels. The incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) decreased, but there was no significant difference (P = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.67 to 1.26). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of cross-clamp time, cold ischemia time, warm ischemic time, acute rejection (AR), graft loss or length of hospital stay.ConclusionOur meta-analysis showed that the effect of remote ischemia conditioning on reducing serum creatinine (Scr) and improving estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) seemed to be very weak, and we did not observe a significant protective effect of RIC on renal ischemic-reperfusion. Due to small sample sizes, more studies using stricter inclusion criteria are needed to elucidate the nephroprotective effect of RIC in renal surgery in the future.

The Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Serum Creatinine in Patients Undergoing Partial Nephrectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10081636. [PMID: 33921503 PMCID: PMC8069991 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10081636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 03/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Renal function declines after partial nephrectomy due to ischemic reperfusion injury induced by surgical insult or renal artery clamping. The effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on reducing renal injury after partial nephrectomy has not been studied regarding urinary biomarkers. Eighty-one patients undergoing partial nephrectomy were randomly assigned to either RIPC or the control group. RIPC protocol consisted of four cycles of five-min inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff to 250 mmHg. Serum creatinine levels were compared at the following time points: preoperative baseline, immediate postoperative, on the first and third days after surgery, and two weeks after surgery. The incidence of acute kidney injury, other surgical complication rates, and urinary biomarkers, including urine creatinine, β-2 microglobulin, microalbumin, and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase were compared. Split renal functions measured by renal scan were compared up to 18 months after surgery. There was no significant difference in the serum creatinine level on the first postoperative day (median (interquartile range) 0.87 mg/dL (0.72–1.03) in the RIPC group vs. 0.92 mg/dL (0.71–1.12) in the control group, p = 0.728), nor at any other time point. There was no significant difference in the incidence of acute kidney injury. Secondary outcomes, including urinary biomarkers, were not significantly different between the groups. RIPC showed no significant effect on the postoperative serum creatinine level of the first postoperative day. We could not reveal any significant difference in the urinary biomarkers and clinical outcomes. However, further larger randomized trials are required, because our study was not sufficiently powered for the secondary outcomes.

Abstract
Background Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been shown to have a protective role on vital organs exposed to reperfusion injury. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of non-invasive RIPC on clinical and biochemical outcomes in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery Methods A systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was carried out in February 2020. RCTs investigating the effect of non-invasive RIPC in adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery were included. Meta-analyses and trial sequential analyses (TSAs) were performed on cardiovascular events, acute kidney injury, and short- and long-term mortality. Results Some 43 RCTs including 3660 patients were included. The surgical areas comprised orthopaedic, vascular, abdominal, pulmonary, neurological, and urological surgery. Meta-analysis showed RIPC to be associated with fewer cardiovascular events in non-cardiac surgery (13 trials, 1968 patients, 421 events; odds ratio (OR) 0.68, 95 per cent c.i. 0.47 to 0.96; P = 0.03). Meta-analyses of the effect of RIPC on acute kidney injury (12 trials, 1208 patients, 211 events; OR 1.14, 0.78 to 1.69; P = 0.50; I2 = 9 per cent), short-term mortality (7 trials, 1239 patients, 65 events; OR 0.65, 0.37 to 1.12; P = 0.12; I2 = 0 per cent), and long-term mortality (4 trials, 1167 patients, 9 events; OR 0.67, 0.18 to 2.55; P = 0.56; I2 = 0 per cent) showed no significant differences for RIPC compared with standard perioperative care in non-cardiac surgery. However, TSAs showed that the required information sizes have not yet been reached. Conclusion Application of RIPC to non-cardiac surgery might reduce cardiovascular events, but not acute kidney injury or all-cause mortality, but currently available data are inadequate to confirm or reject an assumed intervention effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) may mitigate physiological stress related to surgery. There is no clear consensus on conduct of RIPC studies, or whether it is effective. The aim of this study was to (i) assess delivery of RIPC, (ii) identify reported outcomes, (iii) measure effect on key clinical outcomes. METHODS This review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD:42020180725). EMBASE and Medline databases were searched, and results screened by two reviewers. Full-texts were assessed for eligibility by two reviewers. Data extracted were methods of RIPC and outcomes reported. Meta-analysis of key clinical events was performed using a Mantel-Haenszel random effects model. The TIDieR framework was used to assess intervention reporting, and Cochrane risk of bias tool was used for all studies included. RESULTS Searches identified 25 studies; 25 were included in the narrative analysis and 18 in the meta-analysis. RIPC was frequently performed by occluding arm circulation (15/25), at 200 mmHg (9/25), with three cycles of 5 min ischemia and 5 min of reperfusion (16/25). No study fulfilled all 12 TIDieR items (mean score 7.68). Meta-analysis showed no benefit of RIPC on MI (OR 0.71 95% CI 0.48-1.04, I2 = 0%), mortality (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.31-1.01, I2 = 0%), or acute kidney injury (OR 0.72 95% CI 0.48-1.08). CONCLUSIONS RIPC could be standardized as 200 mmHg pressure in 3 × 5 min on and off cycles. The signal of benefit should be explored in a larger well-designed randomized trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer patients who undergo tumor removal, and reconstructive surgery by transfer of a free tissue flap, are at high risk of surgical site infection and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Complement activation through the lectin pathway (LP) may contribute to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a recent experimental treatment targeting ischemia-reperfusion injury. The study aims were to investigate LP protein plasma levels in head and neck cancer patients compared with healthy individuals, to explore whether RIPC affects LP protein levels in head and neck cancer surgery, and finally to examine the association between postoperative LP protein levels and the risk of surgical site infection. METHODS Head and neck cancer patients (n = 60) undergoing tumor resection and reconstructive surgery were randomized 1:1 to RIPC or sham intervention administered intraoperatively. Blood samples were obtained preoperatively, 6 hours after RIPC/sham, and on the first postoperative day. LP protein plasma levels were measured utilizing time-resolved immunofluorometric assays. RESULTS H-ficolin and M-ficolin levels were significantly increased in cancer patients compared with healthy individuals (both P ≤ 0.02). Conversely, mannan-binding lectin (MBL)-associated serine protease (MASP)-1, MASP-3, collectin liver-1 (CL-L1), and MBL-associated protein of 44 kilodalton (MAp44) levels were decreased in cancer patients compared with healthy individuals (all P ≤ 0.04). A significant reduction in all LP protein levels was observed after surgery (all P < 0.001); however, RIPC did not affect LP protein levels. No difference was demonstrated in postoperative LP protein levels between patients who developed surgical site infection and patients who did not (all P > 0.13). CONCLUSIONS The LP was altered in head and neck cancer patients. LP protein levels were reduced after surgery, but intraoperative RIPC did not influence the LP. Postoperative LP protein levels were not associated with surgical site infection.

Abstract
Background The present study was conducted to explore the influence of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on the adjustment of renal fibrosis after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Material/Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups following right-side nephrectomy: the Sham group (without renal artery clamping), the IRI group (45 min left renal artery clamping), and the RIPC group (rats were treated daily with 3 cycles of 5 min of limb ischemia and 5 min of reperfusion on 3 consecutive days before left renal artery occlusion). After 3 months of reperfusion, the renal function and the extent of tubular injury and renal fibrosis were assessed. The expressions of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1), p-Smad2, Smad2, p-Smad3, and Smad3 were also evaluated. Results There was no significant difference in renal function and tubular damage among the 3 groups after 45 min of kidney ischemia followed by 3 months of reperfusion. However, an obvious increase of extracellular matrix components and α-SMA could be observed in the kidney tissues of the IRI group, and the changes were significantly ameliorated in rats treated with enhanced RIPC. Compared with the IRI group, the expression of TGF-β1 and the level of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 were decreased after the intervention of enhanced RIPC. Conclusions Enhanced RIPC ameliorated renal fibrosis after IRI in rats, which appears to be associated with inhibition of the TGF-β1/p-Smad2/3 signalling pathway.

Abstract
Regional anesthesia is becoming increasingly popular among anesthesiologists in the management of postoperative analgesia following pediatric surgery. The main objective of this review was to systematically evaluate the last 5 years of randomized controlled trials on the role of regional anesthesia techniques in alleviating postoperative pain associated with various pediatric surgical procedures. Forty studies on 2,408 pediatric patients were evaluated. The majority of the articles published from 2013 to 2017 reported that the use of regional anesthesia minimized postoperative pain and reduced opioid consumption. Only a few surgical procedures (cholecystectomy, inguinal hernia repair, and non-laparoscopic major abdominal surgery) reported no significant difference in the postoperative pain relief compared with the standard anesthetic management. The growing number of randomized controlled trials in the pediatric literature is very promising; however, additional confirmation is needed to reinforce the use of specific regional anesthesia techniques to provide optimal postoperative pain relief for a few surgical procedures (reconstructive ear surgery, chest wall deformity, hypospadias, umbilical hernia, cleft palate repair) in pediatric patients. More randomized controlled trials are needed to establish regional anesthesia as an essential component of postoperative analgesia management in children.

The effect of remote ischemic preconditioning on serum creatinine in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. Trials 2018; 19:473.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) may develop during partial nephrectomy due to ischemic reperfusion injury induced by renal artery clamping or surgical insult. The effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on reducing the renal injury after partial nephrectomy has not been evaluated in terms of urinary biomarkers. Methods/design We will conduct a randomized controlled trial enrolling the patients who will undergo partial nephrectomy. In the study group, RIPC which consisted of four 5-min cycles of limb ischemia and reperfusion will be conducted after induction of anesthesia. Postoperative serum creatinine values, the incidence of AKI, and urinary biomarkers, including urinary creatinine, microalbumin, β-2 microglobulin, and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, will be compared between groups during the postoperative 2 weeks. Regional oxygen saturation on the skin of the contralateral kidney will be measured to evaluate the association between intraoperative regional oxygen saturation values and renal injury of the operating side. Discussion We expect that our trial may demonstrate the effect of RIPC on mitigating the immediate postoperative renal injury and improving patient outcomes after partial nephrectomy. Moreover, our patients will undergo 99mTc-DTPA radionuclide scintigraphy to calculate glomerular filtration rate 6 and 12 months after surgery. This data should show the long-term effect of RIPC. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, ID: NCT03273751. Registered on 6 September 2017.
