Optical Measurement of Cerebral Hemodynamics in Children With Acute Arterial Ischemic Stroke

NCT01786785 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Last updated 2022-05-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acute ischemic stroke affects roughly 1 in 50,000 children every year and is one of the top ten causes of death in children. Currently, caregivers lay the affected child flat in hopes of increasing blood flow to the brain and reducing the volume of the brain which is damaged. However, there are currently no techniques to measure brain blood flow at the child's bedside and indicate if this treatment is effective. We will probe brain blood volume, oxygen saturation, and flow with red light to determine the efficacy of this intervention.
