[Remote preconditioning phenomenon. prospects for use in pathology of lung and gastrointestinal tract].

Abstract

The literature data on the effectiveness of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIP) in the prevention of lung injury are contradictory. Authors of some works argue that RIP prevents lung damage during surgical interventions, the authors of other publications claim that the RIP does not protect lung against pathological processes. It is obvious that there is an urgent need for multicenter, randomized trials aimed at studying RIP protective effects against pathological processes in lung. Also required is clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of RIP in the thromboembolism of pulmonary arteries, the transplantation of the lungs and intestinal infarction. Remote preconditioning prevents the intestine injury associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Experimental data indicate that RIP has the hepatoprotective effect during ischemia and reperfusion injury of liver, septic or haemorrhagic shock. The question of whether the DIP has a protective effect during ischemia-reperfusion of the pancreas remains open.
