Introduction

Human brain is a complex organ and so are its diseases. Over the years numerous techniques, devices and processes have been developed that can help us to correctly access and diagnose the problem areas and provide solutions to them (14). Computer controlled delivery of carbon dioxide is a method that is conducted with the help of a gas blender that works to supply and alter carbon dioxide to the brain creating tensions in the brain (10) (16).

Changes in the carbon dioxide tensions in the brain are capable of sufficiently affecting the Brain and its functioning (1) . Due to increased carbon dioxide ...

Ischemic stroke takes place when a brain artery is blocked. The brain is dependent on arteries for fresh blood from the heart as well as lungs. The blood carries oxygen as well as nutrients to the brain as well as takes cellular waste and carbon dioxide. Failure of one artery dictates that the brain cannot access adequate energy and will with time stop its operations. Although, there are a lot of patients suffering from the condition, the rate of treatment has been decimally low. t-PA (tissue plasminogen activator)administration has massively failed to meet the required education levels in the treatment ...
