Validation of a delirium monitor in postoperative elderly patients

The research objective is to investigate the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of the delirium monitor based on 4 standardized EEG electrodes who record brain activity.

Registration of attentional function as a predictor of incident delirium

To assess the potential of a short neuropsychological test measuring attentional variability and vigilance preoperatively in predicting postoperative delirium among elderly non-dementia patients undergoing elective surgery.

Measuring activity patterns to diagnose a delirium using wrist-actigraphy and Everon monitoring

To investigate whether the Actiwatch® actigraph and the Everon* sensor can be helpful in the early diagnosis of a delirium. If both are able to do so, we evaluate which of the two performs best as a delirium screening device.

Measuring quality of sleep in critically ill patients in the ICU: A pilot study

Objective: In this pilot study experience will be obtained in the simultaneous use of PSG, melatonin assay, CBT-measurement and assessment in ICU patients.

EEG monitoring of delirium in Intensive Care Unit patients

To examine how sensitive certain (combinations of) EEG parameters are for diagnosing delirium in a heterogeneous group of ICU patients during 24 hours of EEG registration. The delirium assessment by delirium experts will determine which patients…

EEG characteristics of delirium in cardiothoracic surgery patients

To determine the differences in EEG properties between delirious and non-delirious (ICU) cardiothoracic surgery patients surgery and to determine the EEG deviation where the largest differences appear. Secondary objective is to determine the…

Screening for delirium in the Intensive Care Unit: a comparison study

The primary objective of this study is to test both the CAM-ICU and the ICSDS, using the DSM-IV criteria for delirium as golden standard. A secundary objective is to assess the value of the impression of the ICU physican whether or not a patient is…

*The delirium at the PICU study: an evaluation of the usefulness of the pCAM-ICU, PAED and comfort-score for the diagnosis of pediatric delirium at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of the Maastricht Universitair Medisch Centrum (MUMC+)*.
A quality of care improvement program

Our objective is to validate multiple diagnostic instruments, especially the pCAM-ICU. By comparing these instruments, we can develope an algoritm which can be used by nursing staff to diagnose the pediatric delirium as soon as possible so that…

Is a dropping mitoPO2 suggestive for the development of acute kidney injury and/or postoperative cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery?

Primary Objective: the relation between the occurrence of CSA-AKI and the duration of peri-operative low mitoPO2 measurements (<20 mmHg). Secondary Objective:- To study the relationship between the occurrence of postoperative cognitive…

The Impact of Early Delirium Detection with DeltaScan on Management of Underlying Delirium Causes in Critically Ill Patients. A randomized controlled trial.

This randomized controlled trial aims to study the effect of implementation of EEG based encephalopathy detection (DeltaScan, Prolira, Utrecht, The Netherlands, hereafter: DeltaScan) on relevant clinical endpoints (ICU length of stay) as well as the…

Observational study on the predictive value of the BAMCOG and cortisol levels for the incidence of Postoperative Delirium/Postoperative acute encephalopathy measured by the MoCA and the DeltaScan in patients who undergo Aortic Valve Replacement surgery

1. The predictive value of the BAMCOG for developing postoperative delirium/postoperative acute encephalopathy in patients who underwent AVR surgery2. Concurrent validation of the BAMCOG with the MoCA3. The relation between cortisol levels in blood…
