Care steps to prevent confusion for COPD patients in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a set of care steps called the ABCDEF bundle to help prevent confusion (delirium) in COPD patients in the ICU. If you are admitted to the ICU for COPD, this approach may help keep you more alert and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at “delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen during critical care, in people receiving ICU treatment for stroke. It includes both adults and children in specific ICU settings and may help clinicians better prevent or manage confusion during recovery.
This trial tests whether listening to music can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older patients in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to protect your thinking during a hospital stay.
This study tests different ways of organizing care and supporting patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) to see if they can improve recovery and well-being. It focuses on adults who need a breathing tube and are in the ICU for at least a day.
This study tests a virtual reality program that uses calming sights and sounds to help prevent delirium (a state of confusion) in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help keep your mind clear during your stay.
This study tests whether combining gentle cycling while lying down with tablet-based memory exercises can improve recovery after ICU delirium. It may help people regain thinking and comfort after a hospital stay.
This study is testing a new way to predict if patients in the ICU will develop confusion and disorientation (called delirium). By participating, you help doctors spot early signs and possibly prevent delirium, which can be distressing.
