Clinical Trial: BRAIN-HEART Ultrasound Study Normative Values for Transcranial Doppler Based Cerebral Blood Flow Assessment
Study Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: Mechanical Circulatory Support
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: BRAIN-HEART Ultrasound Study Normative Values for Transcranial Doppler Based Cerebral Blood Flow Assessment in Patients Receiving Mechanical Circulatory Support
Brief Summary:
There is a dire need to establish normative values for transcranial Doppler(TCD) derived cerebral blood flow parameters for each type of Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device and explore the relationship between the MCS device's systemic flow dynamics and TCD based cerebral flow(CBF) parameters TCD derived cerebral blood flow parameters can then be investigated as targets used to titrate systemic flow dynamics from MCS.Having target flow rates titrated to patient specific condition using TCD may help…
