-
VR-based sensory stimulation to prevent delirium in ICU patients
This trial tests whether immersive virtual reality sensory stimulation can delay or reduce delirium in adult ICU patients compared with a non-immersive, tablet-based sensory experience.
-
Can family members spot delirium signs in ICU patients?
Family members who know the patient well try a quick delirium check after visiting in the ICU, to see if their observations add information beyond routine nurse screenings.
-
Digital and Plasma Biomarkers for Delirium in the ICU
This study tests whether digital biomarkers and blood biomarkers can help detect and predict delirium in older adults in the ICU.
-
Therapeutic cuddling for critically ill children
This project will try therapeutic cuddling to reduce pain, agitation, and delirium in children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit.
-
Ceribell EEG monitoring for adults in the ICU at high risk of delirium
This project will test whether a portable Ceribell EEG can detect abnormal brain activity in adult medical, surgical, and cardiovascular ICU patients at high risk for delirium.
-
Ceribell Delirium Monitor Pilot in ICU Patients
This pilot test uses the Ceribell Delirium Monitor in ICU patients to see if adding EEG-based delirium monitoring is feasible and how it might affect outcomes.
-
Impact of Family Presence on ICU Patient Outcomes
This study looks at whether having family members present can help ICU patients need less medication, experience less confusion, spend fewer days on ventilators, and shorten their time in the ICU.
-
Evaluating follow-up care for ICU survivors and their caregivers
This study tests whether special follow-up care can help ICU survivors and their caregivers recover better than regular care.
