Electroencephalogram Studies of Induction and Recovery From Propofol Induced General Anesthesia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Propofol for Brain Activity Under Sedation. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate how the commonly used anesthetic drug propofol works in the brain to produce loss of consciousness. While under general anesthesia your brain waves will be measured using electroencephalogram (EEG). On a separate day, the patient's brain will be imaged using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
