Audiovisual program to prevent confusion in older ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special audiovisual program (using sounds and images) can help prevent confusion (delirium) and reduce pain and agitation in older ICU patients with infections. The program is designed to be calming and might help you feel more comfortable during your ICU stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 55 years old or older.
- You must be admitted to the emergency intensive care unit (ICU) within the last 24 hours.
- You must not have delirium (confusion) at the start of the study.
- You must have a diagnosis of an infection (like sepsis, urinary tract infection, or pneumonia).

This study tests whether listening to different types of music combined with mindful breathing exercises can help reduce pain, anxiety, and confusion in people staying in the ICU. Researchers want to see if this combination therapy helps you feel better during your ICU stay.
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.
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 tests whether using virtual reality (VR) in the ICU can help prevent confusion (delirium) in patients. If you are in the surgical ICU at Cedars-Sinai and are expected to stay more than 2 days, you might be able to participate.
This study tests if a virtual reality sensory program can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care unit patients. It might benefit adults newly admitted to the ICU.
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.
