Combined Electroencephalogram, Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Positron Emission Tomography of Dexmedetomidine Induced Sleep
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating dexmedetomidine for Dexmedetomidine Induced Sedation. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators are doing this research study to find out how and where dexmedetomidine, a sedative anesthetic, acts in the brain. The investigators will do this by using a machine that records the brains electrical activity, called an electroencephalogram (EEG), and brain imaging scans to look at the brain.
