Ischemic Conditioning During Air tRansport Save penUmbral Tissue
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Acute Stroke
In brief
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.
