A study on confusion after ICU discharge
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at different kinds of confusion (delirium) that can happen after a serious illness and how that may affect you as you heal outside the ICU. The goal is to understand these patterns better to help future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows patients who experienced delirium in the ICU to track how their thinking and memory recover over time, and what factors might help or hinder that recovery.
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 is testing a way to predict delirium early in ICU patients. If it works, doctors could help prevent confusion and agitation, which are common and scary for patients.
This study tests a computerized tool that automatically measures how severe delirium (sudden confusion) is for ICU patients. Researchers want to see if it can help monitor and manage delirium better without adding extra work for nurses.
This study looks at how light and noise in the intensive care unit (ICU) might affect confusion and disorientation (delirium). By tracking these environmental factors, researchers hope to find ways to reduce delirium for ICU patients.
This study tests a new way to check for delirium (sudden confusion) in patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It also looks at how family members can help spot these changes, so the care team can help sooner.
