Brief description The body's own protective mechanism against injury due to reduced blood flow (ischemic preconditioning) has been studied for over 2 decades, yet the clinical benefits have not been realised until recently . We have previously shown that this innate protection can be induced without drugs in children having heart surgery. We will extend these findings to determine the mechanism of protection, develop a method to monitor this in blood cells and see if this is related to post-operative outcomes.
