Summary

Delirium in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is a serious problem that has recently attracted much attention. This study will evaluate the use of electroencephalogram (EEG) for delirium screening in the PICU.

Detailed description

Primary objective: In a prospective cohort of children hospitalized in a PICU, EEG features associated with pediatric delirium (via VEEGix) will be identified and the diagnostic value to accurately detect delirium of these features will be calculated. Secondary objective: To investigate the accuracy and rapidity of delirium diagnosis with the VEEGix.

Conditions

• Delirium

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	aEEG via vEEGix	Amplitude-Integrated EEG can be achieved with a limited number of frontal electrodes. There is a new aEEG technology available: VEEGix, developed by NeuroServo Inc. It is a miniaturized aEEG, non-intrusive, portable and resistant to patient's movements. Its main advantage is its simplicity of use as a single adhesive strip including all electrodes is fixed to the patient's forehead and is connected to the VEEGix device
