**Clinical Trial Summary: Change in Brain Perfusion During Induction of General Anesthesia**

This clinical trial is studying how the brain's blood flow changes during the start of general anesthesia, specifically when using certain medications. The researchers want to find out if low blood pressure during anesthesia affects blood flow to the brain, which could impact a patient's recovery and overall well-being. They will closely monitor brain blood flow and oxygen levels, as well as how well the brain is functioning, using special tools during procedures related to interventional radiology and orthopedic surgery. This information is important because it can help doctors understand how to manage blood pressure better during anesthesia and improve patient safety.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be adults aged 18 or older who are scheduled for a procedure that requires general anesthesia. They should also agree to take part in the research. However, individuals under 18, pregnant women, or those who do not want to participate cannot join. Participants can expect to undergo a series of tests that measure blood flow and brain function, both during and after episodes of low blood pressure. Overall, this trial aims to gather valuable information that could lead to safer anesthesia practices and better outcomes for patients.
