Portable EEG device probes delirium risk in ICU patients
NCT ID NCT07485244
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find out how common certain brain wave abnormalities are in adult ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. Researchers will use a portable EEG device to monitor 100 patients in medical, surgical, and cardiovascular ICUs. The goal is to better understand brain activity patterns in these critically ill patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patient ≥18 years old * Requiring admission to a medical, surgical and/or cardiovascular ICU for an expected duration ≥ 24 hours * Receiving treatment for shock (e.g., with vasopressors, intra-aortic balloon pump, or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation therapy) and/or respiratory failure \[e.g., on mechanical ventilation or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV)\]. 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. * Patients who have been on mechanical ventilation for \>72 hours within the current hospitalization or who are on long-term ventilator support prior to the injury that resulted in the current hospitalization. * Expected death within 12 hours of enrollment or lack of commitment to treatment by family or the medical team (e.g., likely to withdraw life support measures within 12 hours of enrollment). * Acute or chronic neurologic deficit precluding CAM-ICU assessments * Inability to understand English * Bilateral Deafness * Blindness that will preclude delirium evaluation * Current enrollment in a study that does not allow co-enrollment * Inability to obtain informed consent * Attending physician refusal * Patient and/or surrogate refusal * Patient unable to consent and no surrogate available * Prisoners
