The treatment protocol includes a plurality of treatment cycles that each comprise cuff actuation, an ischemic duration, cuff release, and a reperfusion duration.

主权项

1. An automatic device for remote ischemic preconditioning treatment, the device comprising:
a single cuff having a single bladder configured to retract about a limb of a subject; a controller connected to said cuff, said controller being configured to perform a plurality of sequentially actuated treatment cycles, each cycle comprising:
inflating said cuff to a cuff pressure to occlude blood flow of the subject;maintaining said cuff pressure at a pressure to occlude blood flow for an ischemic duration of one minute or more; anddeflating said cuff; wherein said cuff is further configured to be retained about said limb and deliver said remote ischemic preconditioning treatment.
