Remote ischemic postconditioning for septic shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be able to give consent, or have a family member give consent
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Not be in cardiac arrest
- Not have a medical condition that prevents using a blood pressure cuff on both arms

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.
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 trial tests a new way of giving fluids and medicines to people with septic shock. It focuses on a simple sign called capillary refill time (how fast color returns when you press a fingernail) to guide treatment, aiming to improve recovery.
This trial studies whether a “remote preconditioning” treatment given during early sepsis can help protect the kidneys and improve outcomes. It is for adults in the ICU very soon after sepsis begins.
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.
This study looks at a specific resuscitation (rescue) approach for adults in septic shock, using a bedside skin test called capillary refill time. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this approach better stabilizes your body and improves outcomes.
