Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Survival in Noncardiac Surgery: An Updated Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials.
Anesthesia and analgesia·September 3, 2026·PMID 42691252
Why it mattersPerioperative organ injury remains a major driver of morbidity and mortality in noncardiac surgery. RIPC is a low-cost, noninvasive intervention that could improve outcomes if timing is optimized. This analysis suggests that applying RIPC before anesthesia induction may be critical to its benefit, offering a practical target for future trials and potential clinical protocols.
