Using a brain monitoring number to grade sepsis severity
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a bedside monitoring number called BIS can help sort sepsis into severity levels. If you have sepsis in the ICU, it may help clinicians track how serious it is and guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with sepsis
- You will receive BIS monitoring (a sensor that tracks signals from your brain)
- You should not take medications known to interfere with BIS monitoring
- You are being cared for in a critically ill setting (typically an ICU)

This study is testing a special monitor (BIS) that tracks brain activity in patients on breathing machines and sedation. The goal is to see if it helps doctors provide better sedation care.
This study tests a new computer program that helps doctors find serious infections (sepsis and bacteremia) earlier in ICU patients. If you join, the program will analyze your health data to see if it can better predict these infections, which could help you get faster treatment.
This study tests whether monitoring brain activity (using a sensor on the forehead) during emergency intubation helps prevent unstable blood pressure or heart rate. It is for adults who need a breathing tube placed quickly in the emergency room.
This study looks at a special blood flow monitor (perfusion index) to see if it can help doctors decide when to give blood pressure raising medicines in patients with serious infections. It might help doctors better treat sepsis and septic shock.
This study looks at how well a device on the forehead tracks brain activity and consciousness in very sleepy intensive care patients who are not on sedatives. It compares their readings to those of more awake patients to see if the monitor works reliably.
This study looks at brain wave patterns in patients with sepsis (a severe infection that can affect the brain) during their time in the intensive care unit. The goal is to understand how the brain is affected, which may help improve care.
