Cold Water Study for Healthy Adults
Protocol: STUDY00010536
Full Title
Cold water immersion on cerebrovascular reactivity to CO2
Description
Researchers from the University at Buffalo (UB) are interested in learning more about how to keep scuba divers safe. They have found that being in cold water can increase the risk of them suffering from oxygen toxicity. This is when the brain is exposed to too much oxygen. However, no one knows why this happens.

Participants will be in this study for about a month. They will attend two study visits on the UB South Campus (at Main Street and Bailey Avenue). Visit 1 will take about 1.5 hours and will include screenings and surveys. During Visit 2 (lasting about 3.5 hours), you will sit in a pool of cold water for about an hour. Your heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, breathing, and brain blood flow will be monitored.

Participants will be paid $15/hour.
