Stanford-Lucidify Delirium Monitoring Pilot Study
Stanford University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CGX/Lucidify EEG system in enabling physicians to detect delirium (confusion) in medically ill patients as early as possible in order to minimize the detrimental effects of delirium. The study will involve collecting EEG data through the CGX EEG system (a Research-grade 2-Channel EEG device) and applying the Lucidify EEG software algorithm to identify indicators and degree of delirium, obtain data regarding the amount and degree of patient's movement and activity throughout the day in order to detail delirium subtype, and obtain data regarding the quality of the sleep as it affects delirium severity and duration. By enhancing early detection, this research aims to improve patient outcomes and inform clinical decision-making.
Description
Study investigators would like to use a portable electroencephalogram (pEEG), the CGX EEG system (a Research-grade 2-Channel EEG device) to measure the brainwaves of patients admitted to Stanford Medical Center. Study investigators will then use the Lucidify software to allow for the interpretation of obtained brainwaves in order to detect delirium as early as possible, in order to minimize the detrimental effects of delirium in cognition and behavior. The Lucidify algorithm, different from our previously utilized EEG system (see below for details) can provide two additional features not previ…

Interventions
- Diagnostic TestElectroencephalogram (EEG)
All study subjects will undergo monitoring via a portable electroencephalogram (pEEG), the CGX EEG system (a Research-grade 2-Channel EEG device) to measure the brainwaves of patients admitted to Stanford Medical Center. Investigators will then use the Lucidify software to allow for the interpretation of obtained brainwaves for the detection of delirium .
