Scientific titleThe effect of the arm blood pressure cuff inflations during open abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery as a measure of protecting kidney and heart from injury: a double-blinded, randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesRemote ischaemic preconditioning using upper arm blood pressure cuff will significantly reduce renal and myocardial injury following open Abdominal Aortic Anuerysm (AAA) repair.
