Hemodynamic Variations During Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Critical Ill Patients
- Conditions
- Critical Illness
- Interventions
- Procedure: Remote ischemic conditioning
- Registration Number
- NCT06536231
- Lead Sponsor
- Lithuanian University of Health Sciences
- Brief Summary
The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the changes in hemodynamics occurring during the remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) procedure and to compare the hemodynamic responses elicited by passive leg raising before and after the RIC intervention.
- Detailed Description
The investigators hypothesized that the inflation of the blood pressure cuff during the remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) procedure would lead to an increase in stroke volume (SV), cardiac index (CI), and peripheral perfusion index and that these changes would correlate with the hemodynamic changes induced by passive leg raising (PLR).
Furthermore, the clinical relevance of the RIC effect in critically ill patients, particularly in terms of determining their hemodynamic responsiveness, remains uncertain. The investigators hypothesized that the RIC procedure influences hemodynamic changes during PLR.

Group Intervention Description Passive leg raising and Remote ischemic conditioning Remote ischemic conditioning Supine position was followed by the passive leg raising (PLR) maneuver. After completing the PLR test, participants were placed in the supine position for 5 min. Thereafter, remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) was performed. After the RIC procedure, the patient is left in supine position for 5 minutes. Then the PLR test was repeated, after which the participants were placed in a supine position for another 5 min at rest. When the patient fluid responder, physician in charge may decide to perform a fluid infusion (500 mL of crystaloids). The PLR test can also be performed to make decision for fluid removal. This decision is triggered by a negative PLR test in the later phase of ICU treatment. If the physician has decided to administer a fluids, systemic hemodynamics and peripheral perfusion index are measured immediately after completion of the fluid infusion.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximal change in stroke volume index during remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) procedure During RIC procedure Change in this parameter is determined during each inflation and release of the blood pressure cuff.
Maximal change in cardiac index during RIC procedure During RIC procedure Change in this parameter is determined during each inflation and release of the blood pressure cuff.
Maximal change in peripheral perfusion index during RIC procedure During RIC procedure Change in this parameter is determined during each inflation and release of the blood pressure cuff. The perfusion index is measured on a hand that is not equipped with a blood pressure cuff.
The correlation between the maximal changes in stroke volume index, cardiac index, and peripheral perfusion index observed during the RIC procedure and those observed during passive leg raising (PLR). During RIC procedure, as well as during passive leg raising. The maximum changes in these parameters, as determined by the RIC procedure and PLR, were identified, and their correlation was subsequently calculated. The perfusion index is measured on a hand that is not equipped with a blood pressure cuff.
The correlation between the maximal changes in stroke volume index, cardiac index, and peripheral perfusion index observed during PLR before the RIC procedure and those observed during PLR after the RIC procedure. During PLR both before and after the RIC procedure. The maximum changes in these parameters, as measured during PLR before and after the RIC procedure, were identified. Subsequently, the correlation between these changes was calculated. The perfusion index is measured on a hand that is not equipped with a blood pressure cuff.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The correlation between the maximum perfusion index (PI), the time to reach maximum PI during cuff release and the maximal changes in stroke volume index, cardiac index and perfusion index observed during PLR. During RIC procedure, as well as during PLR. In this context, PI is measured on the arm where the blood pressure cuff is placed. Upon cuff release, both the maximum PI and the time to reach this maximum are recorded.
