Brain monitoring in ICU patients on a ventilator with sedation
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the medical ICU and on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- You are receiving continuous sedation medication through an IV.
- You do not have a history of long-term opioid use (like for chronic pain).
- You do not have severe liver disease (end-stage liver disease).
- You are not pregnant, not a prisoner, and not in refractory shock (very low blood pressure despite high doses of pressor medications).
- You do not have any skin condition that prevents a small sensor from sticking to your forehead.

This study tests a new bedside monitoring system that tracks brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving sedative medications. It aims to help doctors better manage sedation and improve patient care.
This study tests whether a sedative medication called remimazolam helps patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the ICU recover better and have fewer complications. You would receive this medication to keep you calm and comfortable while on the ventilator.
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 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 tests a new way to give pain and sedation medicines in the ICU. It uses a special brain wave monitor (EEG) to help doctors adjust your medicines more precisely, aiming to keep you comfortable and safe.
This trial tests a new system to monitor sedation in ICU patients who need a breathing tube and sedation for more than a day. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
