Measure
Sham Preconditioning
Subjects with subarachnoid hemorrhage will undergo escalating times of limb ischemia to determine tolerability and safety. The leg will be made transiently ischemic with application of a blood pressure cuff for up to 3 cycles of 10 minutes. A sham preconditioning group was added with only minimal cuff inflation.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days

Population: We escalated the ischemia times in cohorts of 6. Cohorts of 6 were prespecified at the beginning to the study. All analysis was intention to treat

The visual analogue scale is a pain scale from 0-10, with 10 being maximum pain and is frequently used in research studies assessing patient discomfort.
