Digital and blood tests for delirium in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether digital tools and blood tests can help detect delirium (sudden confusion) in ICU patients. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could lead to better monitoring and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This pilot study tests a special brain monitor (called Ceribell EEG) to see if it can help detect delirium in ICU patients. Delirium is a state of confusion that can happen during a serious illness, and this monitor may help doctors catch it early.
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.
This study tests a computer-aided tool to help nurses prevent delirium—a type of confusion that sometimes develops in ICU patients. The tool analyzes patient data to predict who is at high risk and suggests preventive care strategies.
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 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.
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.
