About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age ≥18 and ≤ 80 years

Patient screened for rtPA, and rtPA administered if eligible

Disqualifiers
Any intracranial hemorrhage (parenchymal, subarachnoid, subdural, epidural) on CT scan at the community hospital
History of upper or lower extremity ischemia, known subclavian, brachial artery, iliac or femoral artery stenosis, subclavian steal syndrome, any upper or lower extremity soft tissue, orthopedic or vascular injury, or mastectomy or other procedure that may contraindicate taking blood pressure or having a cuff on the arm or leg for the conditioning treatment
