ClinConnect Summary

The MOBI-1 trial is a research study looking at how well the Infrascanner, a non-invasive device, can help monitor patients with brain injuries, specifically those who have bleeding inside the skull (intracranial hematomas). This study is currently recruiting participants who are 15 years or older, have a CT scan showing brain bleeding, and have a Glasgow Coma Scale score of less than 15, which means they may have some level of consciousness impairment. Participants must also be receiving non-surgical care and be admitted for observation in a step-down unit or intensive care unit.

If you or a family member qualify for this study, you can expect to be closely monitored using the Infrascanner without the need for any invasive procedures. The goal is to see if this device can accurately track the progress of brain injuries over time. It's important to note that individuals who cannot provide consent, have been in the hospital for more than two hours before screening, or have other serious health issues may not be eligible to participate. This study aims to improve how we monitor and treat patients with traumatic brain injuries, ultimately helping healthcare providers make better decisions about patient care.
