Trial summary

Delirium in the ICU is a prevalent problem occurring in up to 80% of ICU patients. A potential cause of delirium in ICU patients could be cerebral hypoxia. Septic shock is associated with high rates of delirium. The aim of this pilot study is two fold. Read more about this study

About this study

Delirium in the ICU is a prevalent problem occurring in up to 80% of ICU patients. A potential cause of delirium in ICU patients could be cerebral hypoxia. Septic shock is associated with high rates of delirium.

The aim of this pilot study is two fold. First, to determine the feasibility and potential challenges of measuring cerebral oxygenation in ICU patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. And second, to see if the incidence and magnitude of cerebral desaturations correlated with ICU acquired delirium as measured by the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) scores.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Septic Shock and Delirium, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Delirium (time frame: 28 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2013.
