Summary

Following resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), reperfusion injury can cause cell damage in the heart and brain. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) consists of intermittent application of a device such as a blood pressure cuff to a limb to induce non-lethal ischemia. Studies in animals with cardiac arrest as well as in humans with acute myocardial infarction suggest that RIC before or after restoration of blood flow may reduce injury to the heart and improve outcomes but this has not been proven in humans who have had OHCA. The RICE pilot study is a single-center study to assess the feasibility of application of RIC in the emergency department setting for patients transported to the hospital after resuscitation from OHCA.
