Could a blood pressure cuff save brain function after heart stoppage?
NCT ID NCT06473207
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether repeatedly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on a leg can reduce brain damage in people who survive a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The procedure, called remote ischemic post-conditioning (RIPOST), is started within 4 hours after the heart restarts. Researchers will measure brain injury markers in the blood and organ failure scores in 48 adults in the ICU. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach improves neurological outcomes.
