Septic shock remains a major public health problem in industrialized countries, with a mortality rate as high as 50%, largely related to multiple organ dysfunction. In addition to dysregulated inflammatory response, the pathophysiology of organ failures in septic shock involves ischemia-reperfusion processes. Remote ischemic conditioning is a therapeutic strategy for protecting organs against the detrimental effects of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The objective of the present study is to determine whether remote ischemic conditioning can limit the severity of organ failure in patients with septic shock.
