New brain monitor aims to catch ICU delirium earlier
NCT ID NCT07449416
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new monitor (Ceribell) to see if it can help doctors spot delirium in ICU patients sooner than standard checks. About 100 adults in the ICU will take part. The goal is to see if earlier detection leads to better treatment decisions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age is 18 years or older * Admitted to the ICU for an expected duration ≥ 24 hours from enrollment * Have at least one of the following conditions: Acute Sepsis or Septic Shock Admitted to the ICU following elective cardiothoracic surgery Acute respiratory failure requiring non-invasive ventilation or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygenation Shock requiring vasopressor therapy Mechanically ventilated - Current RASS ≥ -3 and not expected to require deep sedation (RASS \< -3) during the ICU stay Exclusion Criteria: \- Any structural abnormality or head condition, including the presence of a device, that would prevent the use of the Ceribell EEG system for the entire anticipated EEG monitoring period. Examples include: Craniectomy with a missing bone flap in a region where Ceribell EEG electrodes would be placed. Anticipated use of continuous EEG for a purpose other than delirium detection during the entire expected monitoring period. * Baseline neurological dysfunction (Glasgow Coma Scale \< 10) and pre-existing brain injuries such as stroke with known deficits, severe TBI * History of moderate-severe dementia (IQCODE ≥ 3.5) * APACHE II score \> 30, or SOFA \> 9 at enrollment
