Studying a tool to spot confusion in intensive care 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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older and have been in the ICU for at least 24 hours.
- You need to be awake enough to respond to simple questions (not in a deep sleep or coma).
- If you can't give permission yourself, a family member can give it for you.
- Your main family caregiver must be willing to take part and be able to speak and read Mandarin.
- You must not have dementia, a severe mental health condition, or a serious brain disease.

This study tests an AI-powered nursing tool that helps ICU staff prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in patients. If you are at high risk for delirium, the tool may help keep you more comfortable and reduce the chance of confusion during your ICU stay.
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.
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 trial tests if virtual reality can help prevent confusion (delirium) during an ICU stay. It uses relaxing activities to keep the mind clear, which may help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
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 is testing a new way to predict if patients in the ICU will develop confusion and disorientation (called delirium). By participating, you help doctors spot early signs and possibly prevent delirium, which can be distressing.
