A Pilot Study Examining Conscious Awareness and Cognitive Experiences During Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
Brief description of study
This study aims to use methods developed in the AWARE II study (NYU IRB #17-00241) to diagnose awareness during Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest (DHCA) procedures. Our overall hypothesis is that mental and cognitive activity as well as conscious awareness may occur during cardiac standstill states, including DHCA and that this may be related to underlying cortical activity. The purpose of this proposal is to refine study methods originally developed for use during CPR to measure cerebral oxygenation and function using cerebral oximetry and EEG, as well as tests of consciousness and awareness.
