EEG Abnormalities in Adult ICU Patients With High Risk of Delirium

The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of EEG abnormalities on Ceribell POC EEG in adult medical, surgical, and cardiovascular ICU patients with high risk of delirium

Ceribell Delirium Monitor Outcomes Pilot Study

This pilot study is designed as a pre- and post-delirium monitor cohort study, with a prospective intervention cohort and a retrospective control cohort.

A Study of Silent Alarm Delivery Versus Standard Audible Alarm Delivery in Intensive Care and High Dependency Units

The goal of the trial is to learn if a strategy to eliminate audible alarm noise in intensive care and high dependency units can reduce overall noise levels, patient delirium, staff alarm fatigue, and staff burnout. Researchers will implement a silent alarm strategy in specific care units for four weeks and compare this to a separate 4 weeks where a silent strategy is not implemented. Noise, burnout, delirium levels, and staff alarm response times will be compared between the silent and non-silent units.

Family Involvement in ICU

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the effect of the time spent with relatives of patients treated in a tertiary intensive care unit on patient outcomes. The main question it aimed to answer was: Does spending more time with relatives of patients in intensive care result in lower sedative agent requirements? Does spending more time with relatives of patients in intensive care result in less delirium, fewer ventilator days, and shorter ICU stays?

Pilot Feasibility Study of a Pragmatic Mixed-Methods Randomized Controlled Trial on a Follow-Up Bundle of Care for ICU Survivors and Caregivers

\~80% of ICU survivors experience profound long-term cognitive, physical, and psychiatric impairments known as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Caregivers additionally experience similar detrimental psychosocial effects following discharge. Despite this knowledge, follow-up care is almost non-existent. ICU follow-up clinics may mitigate these long-term impacts, but lack evaluation of their effectiveness. This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of ICU follow-up clinics vs. standard-of-care in improving qualitative/clinical outcomes of ICU survivors and caregivers, with those receiving follow-up care hypothesized to have improved outcomes.
