Brief summary

Remote ischemia precondition could protect the liver from ischemia reperfusion injury in patients undergoing hepatectomy.

Detailed description

Remote ischemia precondition (RIPC) had been proofed beneficial to ischemia reperfusion injury of heart, kidney, liver, brain and spinal cord in experimentation on animals. And the clinical studies of RIPC were mainly focused on heart, RIPC's protection effect on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in patients undergoing hepatectomy still remains unknown, So we designed this study to demonstrate the hypotheses.

Interventions

OTHERRemote ischemia precondition

Three cycles of 5-min ischemia/5-min reperfusion induced by a blood pressure cuff placed on the right upper arm served as RIPC stimulus.

OTHERNone remote ischemia precondition

Placed an uninflated cuff on the right upper arm for 30 min.
