Identifying A Plasma Borne Factor Of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning And Its Effect On The Plasma Proteome After Heart Surgery

Summary
During a heart operation, a patient needs a heart-lung bypass machine to supply blood to their body. We are interested in looking at a new therapy called Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning that may decrease the damaging effects of this heart-lung bypass machine. This therapy is applied using a blood pressure cuff before surgery and protects the organs. We want to see if this protects children who are having surgery for the first time and identify proteins in the blood that may be involved.
