Abstract

Introduction: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of ischemic preconditioning therapy assisted with ultra-early recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) thrombosis in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction(ACI) patients. 

Materials and methods: 126 ACI patients admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were enrolled prospectively and divided into two groups using random number table method: the control group (63 cases) who were treated with ultra-early RT-PA thrombosis and the experimental group (63 cases) who were treated with ischemic preconditioning therapy on the basis of control group. 2 groups were compared in terms of the overall response rate, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, modified Rankin Scale (MRS) score, incidence of adverse reactions and follow-up Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score before and after treatment. 

Results: The overall response rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The NIHSS score and Mrs score in the experimental group after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group and before treatment (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between 2 groups in the incidence of adverse reactions (P>0.05). The good outcome rate based on follow-up GOS score in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). 

Conclusion: Ischemic preconditioning therapy assisted with ultra-early RT-PA thrombosis can effectively promote the effect of disease control, protect neurological function and improve clinical outcome in ACI patients and have satisfactory safety.
