Condition: Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest · Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Toulon La Seyne sur Mer
Patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have a high morbidity and mortality rate, primarily due to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) syndrome leading to anoxic-ischemic brain injury. Despite current recommended advanced life support therapies, no specific treatment or procedure has yet been shown to improve the neurological outcome of such patients. Remote ischemic post-conditioning (RIPOST) which usually consists of applying brief and repeated cycles of ischemia alternating with reperfusion by inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff or a pneumatic tourniquet placed around a limb, is a promising strategy to protect organs against I/R injury, including brain. Regarding cardiac arrest, pre-clinical studies have demonstrated an improvement in neurological outcome in animal subjects treated with RIPOST after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The aim of our study is to demonstrate the benefit of early RIPOST in OHCA patients in reducing neurological injury and organ failure related to I/R syndrome.
