Non-invasive remote ischemic preconditioning for patients with heart failure undergoing cardiac catheterization: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of six non-invasive remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) interventions during the nursing care of patients with heart failure (HF) prior to cardiac catheterization.

Methods

A comprehensive search of nine Chinese and English online databases was conducted from the date of their inception to June 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating RIPC in patients with HF prior to cardiac catheterization. Two independent investigators screened the articles, extracted data, and assessed their quality. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, and a network meta-analysis was conducted using R software.

Results

Four trials involving 511 patients with a low risk of bias were incl
