Normal Values of Brain Oxygenation

This study is currently recruiting participants.

Verified by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland, September 2008

Sponsored by:	University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Information provided by:	University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00512447

Purpose

New technology allows non-invasive monitoring of brain oxygenation (Near-Infrared-Spectroscopy). However, there are no large series of normal values in various adult age groups. We hypothesised that baseline values in patients breathing room air are lower in old patients than in younger subjects and that younger patients respond increase their brain oxygenation more in response to supplemental oxygen.
