Brain Activity Monitoring in Critically Ill ICU Patients
This study uses a sensor on the forehead to measure brain activity in patients who are sedated or lightly sedated in the ICU. Researchers want to understand how well this monitoring works in critically ill patients to improve their care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are currently in an ICU (intensive care unit)
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 24 hours
- Your forehead is intact with no wounds or active infections
- You have not had a recent stroke
- You are not already being monitored with an EEG (brain wave monitor)

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 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 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 a new, non-invasive technology called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to monitor how well your brain regulates blood flow in the ICU. Researchers want to see if this device can safely and accurately measure brain function alongside the monitoring you're already receiving.
This study measures sleep quality in patients hospitalized in intensive care who need help breathing. Researchers will use EEG (brain wave monitoring) to see if tracking sleep helps improve patient care and outcomes.
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.
