Remote Ischemic Conditioning in HSCT

The autoRIC device will be modified by the company from the standard cuff inflation of 200 mmHg to 180 mmHg for the purposes of this study. Three cuff sizes are available from the company: small, medium, and large, correlating to standard adult cuff sizes. The remote ischemic preconditioning cycles will be performed daily by trained research personnel during the preparative regimen through day 0 (see Figure 1), defined as transplantation of stem cells (last preconditioning cycle on day -1). A control group will undergo a similar procedure, however, the cuff will not be inflated.
