Mapping blood pressure and brain blood flow during anesthesia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project investigates the relationship between blood pressure and cerebral blood flow in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Participants will undergo an MRI scan to assess brain blood flow while awake before their planned surgery. The study aims to identify optimal blood pressure levels that ensure adequate brain oxygenation and perfusion during anesthesia. By understanding this relationship, the research seeks to improve management strategies for maintaining cerebral blood flow during surgical procedures.
