Study of brain confusion in sepsis patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study builds a group of adults with sepsis who develop sudden brain problems, like delirium or coma. It aims to better understand how often this happens and how it may be recognized in hospital, which could help future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re diagnosed with sepsis and meet “Sepsis-3” criteria
- You expect to stay in the hospital longer than 24 hours
- You’re between 18 and 89 years old
- You have new sudden brain symptoms during the current illness (like delirium, coma, seizures, or new weakness/nerve problems)
- Your body also meets non-infectious SIRS criteria (a certain pattern of body inflammation responses)

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial studies treatments for sepsis, a serious infection complication, in ICU patients. It aims to find better ways to care for critically ill patients with sepsis.
This study looks at different types (“endotypes”) of sepsis in adults to better understand what’s happening in the body and how patients may respond. You might be asked to provide information and samples as the study tries to sort sepsis into meaningful subgroups.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests can help predict if people who have had sepsis will have thinking or memory problems later. If you are in the ICU with sepsis, this trial might help doctors understand your risk for long-term brain issues.
This study looks at children with brain inflammation (called encephalitis) to find which early signs and lab tests can predict how well a child will recover. Doctors will track children who come to the hospital with symptoms like confusion, fever, and seizures to learn more about what affects outcomes.
This study looks at what causes severe seizure episodes (“status epilepticus”) and a related immune condition that affects the brain (“dysimmune encephalitis”). The goal is to better understand the disease process, which may guide future care.
