Pilot Study of Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Acute Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Spontaneous Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating injury that accounts for 10-15% of all strokes. The rupture of cerebral blood vessels damaged by hypertension or cerebral amyloid angiopathy creates a space-occupying hematoma that contributes toward neurological deterioration and high patient morbidity and mortality. Numerous protocols have explored a role for surgical decompression of ICH via craniotomy, stereotactic guided endoscopy, and minimally invasive catheter/tube evacuation. Studies including, but not limited to, STICH, STICH-II, MISTIE, MISTIE-II, MISTIE-III, ENRICH, and ICES have all shown that, in certain limited patient populations, evacuation can be done safely and mortality can be decreased, but functional outcomes remain statistically no different compared
