Brain wave monitor may help spot sepsis severity
NCT ID NCT03244293
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a device that measures brain activity (called BIS) can help doctors classify how severe sepsis is in critically ill patients. Researchers will compare BIS readings with a standard blood test (procalcitonin) to see if the brain monitor can track worsening or improvement. The study plans to enroll 20 patients with sepsis.
