Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 years or older who are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and can communicate in the language of the delirium assessment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with conditions that prevent the use of the Ceribell EEG system during the monitoring period will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather clinical and EEG data from patients in the Intensive Care Unit who are being monitored for different subtypes of delirium. By utilizing the Ceribell EEG system, the study will track the presence and severity of delirium in these patients. The collected data will contribute to the development of future software algorithms designed to enhance delirium assessment. The study is non-randomized and focuses on real-world clinical settings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved methods for diagnosing and managing delirium in critically ill patients.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is observational and builds on existing EEG technology, similar studies have shown promise in improving delirium assessment and management.
