Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) Decreases the Incidence and Severity of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) – Validation in a Large Animal Model

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains a devastating intestinal disease that affects 5–7% of preterm neonates. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been shown to protect against intestinal ischemia in rodents. We aimed to determine the efficacy of RIC in a large animal model of NEC.
