Perfusion Enhancement With Respiratory Impedance in Stroke (PERI-Stroke)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a non-randomized phase 2 study designed to asses the mean flow velocity (MFV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) response to non-invasive respiratory impedance.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in CBF that occurs during RI, as measured by diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) with a sampling frequency of 5 Hz [Baseline]
- Reports of any of the following: shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, or hypoxia [Baseline]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in MFV as measured by transcranial doppler (TCD), during RI [Baseline]
- Change in mean arterial pressure (MAP,) during RI [Baseline]
- Change in end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2), during RI [Baseline]
- Time to maximum CBF effect after the introduction of RI [Baseline]
- Change in National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (admission vs discharge) [Baseline]
