Influence of RIC on the Orthostatic Competence of the Microcirculation

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial (pilot study) is to learn about the microcirculatory regulation of the lower extremity under orthostatic stress with and without RIC - Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in healthy participants. The main question it aims to answer are: Do the beneficial effects of RIC withstand orthostatic stress? / Does RIC benefit lower extremity microcirculation in ortho-statically stressed subjects? Is there a relationship/correlation between the variables of microcirculation and hemodynamics in the context of RIC and orthostatic loading?

Clinical Trial Description

The use of free flaps is a standard procedure in reconstructive plastic surgery, in which a wide variety of tissue units are microsurgically transplanted, often to cover defects on the body surface. Microvascular tissue transplants depend on an adequate blood supply, which is particularly vulnerable in the first postoperative phase. In the case of reconstructions of the lower extremities in particular, the flap perfusion is stressed during the first mobilizations due to the orthostatic load. For this reason, the mobilization of the patients is gradually increased from day to day with precise monitoring of the blood flow (so-called flap training). A procedure for temporarily improving the blood flow in free flaps is ischemic preconditioning (RIC - Remote Ischemic Preconditioning). Repeated, short cycles of ischemia/reperfusion applied to a circumscribed vascular territory (e.g. supra systolic tourniquet arm) lead to an increase in tissue perfusion, even outside the area of application (arm). RIC could have the potential to optimize the tissue perfusion of flaps even under orthostatic stress and to promote an earlier mobilization of patients. Our work investigates the influence of RIC on orthostatic competence (as part of a standardized orthostatic load with a tilting table) of the microcirculatory system in the lower extremities and the orthostatic hemodynamic regulation itself. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
