Physiological Mechanisms of External Jugular Compression

3 credits

This course will focus on readings in the field of cerebral oxygenation and cerebrovascular physiology as it relates to the effects of external jugular compression. This type of research has implications and applications to sport concussion. This course will also have pilot data collected to monitor cerebral oxygenation, electrocardiography (ECG), and blood pressure (BP) when applying external compression to the jugular veins.
