PROCEDURE

Thrombolysis + remote perconditioning

The rIPerC consists of 4 cycles of 5 minute total occlusion of blood flow to the non-paretic arm separated by 5 minutes of reperfusion. The occlusion is secured by inflating a standard blood pressure cuff to 25 mmHg above the systolic blood pressure. Written instruction on cuff inflation and paramedic's documentation of their procedure were written in a standard report which was turned over to a study nurse upon arrival to the hospital, and filed. The investigators were hence blinded to the prehospital rIPerC.
