Summary
This study tests a special catheter that measures oxygen levels in blood leaving the brain every second, without needing to draw blood. Researchers want to see if it is as accurate as the standard lab method in 25 comatose patients after cardiac arrest. If successful, it could help doctors detect and treat brain oxygen problems more quickly.
