Trial summary

The brain is such a metabolically active organ that it consumes about 20% of oxygen burned every minute by an average adult even though it only contributes about 2% of the body weight. As a result, the brain produces a disproportionately high amount of CO2 every minute in comparison with the rest of the body. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessing Cerebrovascular Reactivity Based on Cerebral Oximetry

The brain is such a metabolically active organ that it consumes about 20% of oxygen burned every minute by an average adult even though it only contributes about 2% of the body weight. As a result, the brain produces a disproportionately high amount of CO2 every minute in comparison with the rest of the body.

Read the detailed description

The researcher can use Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy Imaging, cerebral non-invasive oximetry instrument, to determine cerebrovascular reactivity during surgery procedure. Specifically, the cerebral tissue O2 saturation can measure by Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy Imaging can use for cerebral blood flow in the evaluation of cerebrovascular reactivity.

Adequate brain perfusion is critical not only to supply oxygen and nutrients but also to wash out metabolic end products including CO2. Blood flow depends on perfusion pressure and vascular bed resistance. It is well known that multiple physiological and pathological factors affect cerebral vasculature, and the resistance to blood flow. The cerebrovascular responsiveness to those factors determines how well the brain can maintain and adjust its perfusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoxia-Ischemia, Brain and Signs and Symptoms, run by University of California, Irvine at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brain blood flow (time frame: 6 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
