 Remote Ischemic Preconditioning RIPC Procedure: Following enrollment, computer generated randomization will be done to see if the patient gets RIPC or sham-RIPC procedure. Patients will receive four cycles of lower limb remote ischemic preconditioning, starting at the earliest post-hemorrhage day. The remote ischemic preconditioning will typically take place on post-hemorrhage day 2 - 12. Each cycle of RIPC will consist of four 5-minute cycles of lower limb ischemia followed by 5-minute periods of reperfusion. A large manual bedside blood pressure cuff will be wrapped around the upper thigh of one leg. The cuff will be inflated to a pressure 20 mm Hg greater than the systolic arterial blood pressure measured by the patients arterial line or upper limb blood pressure cuff. The adequate level of inflation will be confirmed by the absence of pulse in the ipsilateral pedal artery as detected by Doppler. The cuff will remain inflated for 5 minutes. The cuff will then be deflated and the limb will be allowed to re-perfuse for at least 5 minutes. After the cuff is deflated, the same procedure will then be repeated three times for a total of four cycles. Patients receiving the sham-RIPC procedure will have the cuff inflated to a pressure of 20 mmHg lower than systolic, hence to not occlude blood flow or cause ischemia. The rest of the study will be conducted similarly in both groups. Research staff will be aware if the patient is in the sham or treatment group. Patient, their nurse, treating physicians, lab technicians and Transcranial Doppler TCD technicians will not be made aware if the patient is receiving sham or treatment procedure.
