ICU stay could harm your brain years later
NCT ID NCT00392795
Summary
This study aims to understand why many intensive care unit (ICU) survivors develop long-term thinking and memory problems. Researchers followed 826 adult ICU patients to see if confusion during their stay (delirium) or strong sedative medications increase the risk of these cognitive issues. The goal is to identify preventable risk factors to guide future treatments that protect brain function after serious illness.
