Filter by:STUDY SUMMARY STUDY DESIGN The study will be conducted over twelve months in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT). This study is a mixed methods research design that includes the collection of data through qualitative interviews, quality-of-life questionnaires and patients' medical records. AIMS - Determine the incidence of ICU delirium in ICHT following cardiac surgery - Explore the compliance of outcome measures that diagnose ICU delirium - Implement a family-focused sensory stimulation programme in the ICU - Evaluate its useability and potential impact on patients, families and ICU staff STUDY POPULATION 30 study participants (12 patients, 12 family members/friends and 6 ICU nurses) ELIGIBILITY Study eligibility criteria are specific for each care group (patients, family members/friends and ICU nurses). DURATION 12 months at Hammersmith Hospital, ICHT
The goal of this observational study is to develop a passive digital marker (PDM) for delirium severity and examine its performance in comparison to validated delirium severity tools in ICU patients >50 years of age. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the trained convolutional neural network able to reliably measure delirium severity. - Is the Passive Digital Marker able to accurately measure delirium severity - Is the Passive Digital Marker acceptable and usable by frontline ICU nurse clinicians, patients, and their identified proxies (i.e., caregivers). Participants will: - Study participation involves a video camera recording you 24 hours per day while you are a patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). - Study staff will visit you 4 times each day you are in the ICU. You will be asked questions each time they visit to train the digital marker and see differences between assessments and camera data.
The purpose of this research is to investigate whether addition of the EyeControl-Pro platform as an adjunct to standard guideline-based intensive care unit management of critically ill patients is effective in reducing delirium incidence and severity.
This study was designed to evaluate the impact of non-pharmacological multimodal interventions including ongoing orientation, sensory correction, setting of familiar circumstance and promotion of sleep enviromnet for prevention of delirium in intensive care unit.
Postoperative delirium is a common complication that usually occurs acutely within the first 24 hours after surgery and resolves within 72 hours; it is common in all medical areas and particularly affects patients over the age of 65 and those with pre-existing cognitive impairments. It is characterized by difficulty organizing and coordinating thoughts and by slowing down motor functions that are observed for a short period after surgery. The study will be an observational prospective study with historical control (pre/post-study) whose primary objective is to identify the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The population will be adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery at our University Hospital over a period of 12 months. The intervention will be exposure to totally artificial light (for patients hospitalized after the relocation of the department to its original location). The comparator will be exposure to natural light (for patients who will be hospitalized during our temporary transfer to an environment with natural lighting). The outcome will be the incidence of delirium, measured with the Confusion Assessment Method-Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) scale; episodes of agitation requiring sedative drugs; time elapsed before onset of delirium. The study will last 12 months.
This is a prospective, randomized, single blinded, controlled clinical trial designed to compare the clinical effects of sedation with dexmedetomidine versus propofol in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
More than 60% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients are adults ages 60 and older, who are at high risk for ICU-acquired cognitive impairment. After ICU discharge, ICU survivors often experience sleep disturbances and inactivity, and almost 80% of ICU patients experience disturbances in circadian rhythm, which may affect cognitive function. Understanding the optimal, chronotherapeutic timing of cognitive interventions is crucial to promote circadian realignment and cognitive function, and may improve intervention feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy. Specific Aim 1 will determine feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effect sizes for: 1) a morning session of a computerized cognitive training intervention [COG]; and 2) a late afternoon/early evening session of the COG intervention; compared to 3) standard inpatient care/usual care [UC]. Specific Aim 2 will examine circadian rhythm parameters to determine the optimal timing of the daily COG intervention. Exploratory Aim 3 will explore if the effects of the COG intervention on cognitive function are mediated by daytime activity, and explore if selected biological and clinical factors moderate intervention effects on cognitive function.
The study aims to investigate the status of circadian rhythm and sleep quality in ICU patients and their influence factors. And explore the pathway of circadian rhythm on ICU delirium. The hypothesis of study is that icu patients experience circadian and sleep rhythm disorder, especially in patient who have delirium.
The use of physical restraints is common practice in Intensive Care Units (ICU). This medically prescribed procedure requires full attention of medical and paramedical teams for its implementation, monitoring and ending, as a major restriction of patients' individual freedom. French highest authority for health has defined, for geriatrics and psychiatric units, ten criteria of good practice for physical restraints' use. Routine practice reports critically ill patients' safety as main reason of use. This decision, often left to the sole discretion of nurses, varies according to their own representation of this risk, and depends on several factors: seniority in ICU, nurse to patient ratio and personal workload. In order to reduce practices subjectivity and heterogeneity, we have developed a decision-making tool for physical restraints implementation. This tool is based on objective scales used on a daily basis concerning neurological status (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) and Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU)). Disorientation or delirium can lead to severe incidents by promoting accidental removing of important devices such as arterial of venous line, drains among others. However, physical restraints are recognized as a major cause of delirium and agitation. Critically ill patients require rigorous evaluation of organ dysfunctions necessitating adequate invasive equipments, with associated risks of unexpected removal or alteration. Such events could urge caregivers to use physical restraints. Based on recent literature, about a third of ICU patients are restrained, and accidental deconditioning is mainly observed within these particular patients. In addition, three categories of patients have been defined according to the invasive nature of their equipment and therefore according to the risk associated with an unexpected withdrawal. Finally, presence of patient's family and their adherence to its surveillance were also implemented into the tool. Main study objective is to jointly investigate effectiveness and tolerance of a decision-making tool guiding physical restraints use in ICU patients.
Aim: to investigate whether the 4C Mortality score, which measures the severity of COVID-19, and the CAM-ICU 7 score , which measures the severity of delirium, in ICU. To compare two scores in terms of the number of days without intubation and 28 day mortality rates in ICU.
