Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Effects of Pringle manoeuvre and ischaemic preconditioning on haemodynamic stability in patients undergoing elective hepatectomy: a randomized trial.
The Pringle manoeuvre and ischaemic preconditioning are applied to prevent blood loss and ischaemia-reperfusion injury, respectively, during liver surgery. In this prospective clinical trial we report on the intraoperative haemodynamic effects of the Pringle manoeuvre alone or in combination with ischaemic preconditioning. ⋯ Ischaemic preconditioning provides both better intraoperative haemodynamic stability and anti-ischaemic effects thereby allowing us to take full advantage of blood loss reduction by the Pringle manoeuvre.
