Interventions

  • Ischemic conditioning device — DEVICE
    RLIC will be done using a specialized blood pressure device ( Doctormate) that inflates to 200 mm HG for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes deflation.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of performing remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) using the Doctormate device, a special blood pressure device used to perform RLIC, on patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion being transported to a thrombectomy capable center by the helicopter.
