Cerebral Oximetry with Cerebral Blood Volume Index (CBVI) in detecting Pediatric Strokes in a Pediatric Emergency Department

Despite pediatric stroke awareness and Pediatric Stroke Activation systems, recognition and imaging delays along with activation inconsistency still occurs. Reliable objective pediatric stroke detection tool are needed to improve detection and activations. Cerebral rcSO2 with cerebral blood volume index (CBVI) can detect abnormal cerebral physiology.
