In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of the study protocol is to identify imaging biomarkers for brain tissue under high metabolic stress at risk for permanent injury. We will measure oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in participants with and without perturbations in cerebral oxygen delivery over time to determine each parameter's role in clinical and radiologic neurologic outcomes. Measuring OEF can be done with specialized MRI sequences. Measuring CVR requires a vasoactive response, such as carbon dioxide. In order to deliver carbon dioxide evenly and as safely as possible, we will use RespirACT, an MRI-compatible device, to prevent over-breathing carbon dioxide and allow rapid steady-state physiology to minimize total scan time. We will also use a high density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) cap to assess the measurement of OEF and CVR. This study will investigate both
