Brain monitoring for very sleepy intensive care patients
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- Your level of consciousness must be very low (RASS score of -3 or lower)
- You are expected to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 24 hours
- You cannot be on sedative drugs (like propofol, midazolam, or dexmedetomidine)
- You must not have had a recent stroke
- Your forehead must be free of wounds or infections so a monitor can be attached

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 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 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 trial uses a special brain activity sensor to see if it helps doctors during emergency breathing tube placement. It may help understand how patients respond to the procedure.
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
