Completed

Conditions studied: Identify the Presence of a Marker of Ischemia/Hypoperfusion of the Brain Via Peripheral Blood, Ischemia/Hypoperfusion of Brain

In brief

The purpose of the study is to determine if a new blood test can help the doctor determine if there is brain injury or ischemia. Ischemia occurs when not enough oxygen gets to the brain.
