About this trial

Ventilator-associated brain injury (VABI) frequently occurs in ICU patients. Although animal studies indicate the hippocampus as a key target of VABI, its relevance in human patients remains uncertain. In this study, the investigators aim to monitor hippocampal EEG activity during the weaning process of patients off mechanical ventilation, and also exploring the coupling between breathing patterns and hippocampal activity.
