NCT03635736

Brief Summary

The study will enable the clinical applicability of the multiple-spectral-sonography for detection of severe brain injury in ICU patients. For this, the ACG diagnostic system (Sonovum AG, Leipzig, Germany) should be used as additional diagnostic tool in prospective single-center study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • acustocerebrography (ACG)

    changes in the ACG during the course of disease (especially the dimensionality of the time to flight of the ultrasound signal)

    after inclusion: time-point 0 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • SOFA

    every day, at least after 28 days

  • acustocerebrography (ACG)

    Every day to 3 time-points. The measurements will be stopped after final evaluation of the neurological status, at least after 28 days

Study Arms (1)

Severe brain injury

ICU-patients suspect to severe brain injury, measurement with multiple-spectral-sonography as acustocerebrography (ACG

Other: multiple-spectral-sonography as acustocerebrography (ACG)

Interventions

After inclusion three times at day measurements with ACG for each 45 minutes; a (non-invasive) sonography. The measurements will be stopped after final evaluation of the neurological status using common methods like magnetic resonance tomography, transcranial doppler sonography, electroencephalography and other methods.
