Brain wave watch: new monitor may cut ICU delirium and ventilator time
NCT ID NCT06019078
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether adding a brain wave monitor (pEEG) to standard sedation checks helps reduce delirium and time on a breathing machine in ICU patients. Researchers followed 150 adults on ventilators who needed sedation. They compared those who got both the brain monitor and usual care to those who got usual care alone.
