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 resuscitat
