Automating the assessment of delirium severity in ICU patients
This study is testing a new way to measure how severe delirium is in ICU patients over 50 by using bedside cameras and comparing it to traditional methods.
-
Preventing delirium in ICU patients with non-drug methods
This study is testing if non-drug methods like creating a comfortable environment and helping patients stay oriented can prevent delirium in older patients staying in the ICU for more than a day.
