Remote conditioning after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment that uses a blood pressure cuff on your arms to try to protect your brain and organs after your heart stopped outside the hospital. You will be in the intensive care unit, and the study will check if this simple 'remote conditioning' can improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old
- Your heart stopped outside the hospital and you were seen by someone within 30 minutes or had a witness who may have helped
- You are in the intensive care unit and it has been less than 3 hours since you arrived
- You do not have any arm injury or condition that prevents using a blood pressure cuff on both arms
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or under legal guardianship

This trial tests if a special blood pressure cuff (like a tourniquet) placed on the leg can protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for patients who are unconscious and on a breathing machine after their heart restarts.
This trial tests whether using a simple blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow to the arm and then releasing it can help people with septic shock. The goal is to see if this process, called remote ischemic postconditioning, can improve recovery in the intensive care unit.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your arm) can help patients recover better after off-pump heart bypass surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces complications and improves heart function.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning—brief, gentle pressure on the arm—can help protect your heart after a stroke. The study enrolls patients who have had an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blood clot) and also show signs of heart injury detected through blood tests.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly stop blood flow to one arm) to see how it affects heart and blood flow in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are in the ICU, over 18, and have a special heart monitor, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff on the arm to temporarily restrict blood flow (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover after a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. It may reduce damage and improve outcomes.
