Modulation of brain activity in brain-injured patients with a disorder of consciousness in intensive care with repeated 10-Hz transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS): a randomised controlled trial protocol
De Koninck B, Brazeau D, Deshaies A, Briand M, Maschke C, Williams V, et al.
BMJ Open . 2024 Jul; 14(7):e078281. PMID: 38991682
Introduction: Therapeutic interventions for disorders of consciousness lack consistency; evidence supports non-invasive brain stimulation, but few studies assess neuromodulation in acute-to-subacute brain-injured patients. This study aims to validate the feasibility...

Use of actigraphy for monitoring agitation and rest-activity cycles in patients with acute traumatic brain injury in the ICU
Saavedra-Mitjans M, Van der Maren S, Gosselin N, Duclos C, Frenette A, Arbour C, et al.
Brain Inj . 2024 Apr; 38(9):692-698. PMID: 38635547
Background: In traumatic brain injury patients (TBI) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), agitation can lead to accidental removal of catheters, devices as well as self-extubation and falls. Actigraphy...

The Suitability of Potential Organ Donors Using Real Case-Scenarios; Do we Need to Create a "Donor Board" Process for Donors Perceived as Unlikely Suitable?
Marsolais P, Larouche G, Lagace A, Williams V, Serri K, Bernard F, et al.
Transpl Int . 2022 Mar; 35:10107. PMID: 35340845
Despite availability of selection criteria, different interpretations can lead to variability in the appreciation of donor eligibility with possible viable organs missed. Our primary objective was to test the perception...

EXperienceS and aTtitudes towards Agitated behaviours in Traumatic brain injury in the Intensive Care unit patients (EXSTATIC): a protocol for an interprofessional mixed-method study
Saavedra-Mitjans M, David P, Frenette A, Arbour C, Perreault M, Williams V, et al.
BMJ Open . 2021 Jul; 11(7):e045816. PMID: 34261680
Introduction: Agitation and violent behaviours are common conditions developed by patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) in intensive care units (ICUs). Healthcare professionals caring for these patients have various...

Crit Care . 2021 Apr; 25(1):142. PMID: 33849619
Background: Pain assessment in brain-injured patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is challenging and existing scales may not be representative of behavioral reactions expressed by this specific group. This...

Agitation, confusion, and aggression in critically ill traumatic brain injury-a pilot cohort study (ACACIA-PILOT)
Williamson D, Cherifa S, Frenette A, Saavedra Mitjans M, Charbonney E, Cataford G, et al.
Pilot Feasibility Stud . 2020 Dec; 6(1):193. PMID: 33308318
Background: Agitated behaviors are problematic in intensive care unit (ICU) patients recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) as they create substantial risks and challenges for healthcare providers. To date, there...
