Summary

In remote preconditioning, ischemia in one organ protects distant organs from ischemic insults. e.g. brief induced limb ischemia protects the brain from an otherwise more severe stroke. The objective of this study is to determine if remote ischemic preconditioning can be safely and effectively instituted in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, who are at high risk for developing disabling cerebral ischemia. The investigators will also preliminarily assess if there is evidence for neuroprotection. This will be a Phase 1b study. Additional objectives are: 1. to determine if remote ischemic preconditioning can be safely and effectively instituted in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, who are at high risk for developing disabling cerebral ischemia. 2. analogously to a dose-escalation study the investigators propose to study the safety and tolerability of increasing durations of limb ischemia until a target time of 10 minutes of limb ischemia has been reached.
