Scientific titleIschaemic preconditioning in liver resections studied with microdialysis: a randomised single-blinded single-centre controlled trial
Study objectivesDoes ischaemic preconditioning before 15/5 Pringles manoeuvre change metabolism or ischaemia-reperfusion injury compared to 15/5 Pringles manoeuvre alone in surgical liver resections?

As of 09/12/2009 this record has been updated to the actual end date of trial recruitment - the initial anticipated end date for this trial was 30/04/2009.
Ethics approval(s)Regional ethics committee in Linköping Sweden gave approval in June 2006 (ref: M100-06)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLiver tumour
InterventionAll patients will receive intrahepatic microdialysis catheters intra-operatively. Pringle manoeuvre means closure of the portal pedicle. The treatment arm will begin surgery with 10 minutes of Pringle and then 10 minutes of reperfusion (i.e. ischaemic preconditioning) will be allowed before regular 15 minutes of ischaemia and 5 minutes of reperfusion in cycles until the transsection is finished.

The control arm will not have preconditioning, otherwise Pringle will be used in the same manner.

Both arms are followed for 5 days post-operatively with microdialysis and laboratory testing and then a follow-up visit is held at the outpatient clinic about 30-days post-operatively where complications and pathological diagnosis is documented.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Changes in metabolism (anaerobic/aerobic), studied with microdialysis
2. Ischaemia-reperfusion injury (histology, myeloperoxidase [MPO], etc)

Results of the microdialysis samples are recorded continuously for 5 days post-operatively (and blood samples daily for 5 days), but data are not compiled and analysed until the last study participant has completed the 30-day follow-up time.
Secondary outcome measuresExtent of the resected liver volume, recorded continuously and the volume of resection will be recorded immediately after the operation. Data are not compiled and analysed until the last study participant has completed the 30-day follow-up time.
