Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of remote ischemic preconditioning on dynamic cerebral autoregulation and related hematology indexes in healthy adults.

Detailed Description

Remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC) is the phenomenon whereby brief cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, applied to a distant organ, provide protection to the target organ. Dynamic cerebral autoregulation(dCA), a mechanism to maintain the cerebral blood flow, has been proved to be critical for the occurrence,development and prognosis of ischemic neurovascular disease. In this study, we hypothesis that RIPC provides neuro-protection by means of improving dCA.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
phase difference(PD) in degree2 days

A dynamic cerebral auto-regulation parameter derived from transfer function analysis.Continuous cerebral blood flow velocities of bilateral middle cerebral artery will be assessed noninvasively using transcranial Doppler. Spontaneous arterial blood pressure will be simultaneously recorded using a servo-controlled plethysmograph on the left or right middle finger with an appropriate finger cuff size. Transfer function analysis will be used to derive the autoregulatory parameters.
