  abstract  = {Background: Monitoring the vital signs of delirious patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) is challenging, as they might (un-)intentionally remove devices attached to their bodies. In mock-up scenarios, we systematically assessed whether a motion detector (MD) attached to the bed may help in identifying emergencies. Methods: We recruited 15 employees of the ICU and equipped an ICU bed with an MD (IRON Software GmbH, Gr{\"u}nwald, Germany). Participants were asked to replay 22 mock-up scenes of one-minute duration each: 12 scenes with movements and 10 without movements, of which 5 were emergency scenes ("lying dead-still, with no or very shallow breathing"). Blinded recordings were presented to an evaluation panel consisting of an experienced ICU nurse and a physician, who was asked to assess and rate the presence of motions. Results: Fifteen participants (nine women; 173 ± 7.0 cm; 78 ± 19 kg) joined the study. In total, 286 out of 330 scenes (86.7\%) were rated correctly. Ratings were false negative (FN: "no movements detected, but recorded") in 7 out of 180 motion scenes (3.9\%). Ratings were false positive (FP: "movements detected, but not recorded") in 37 out of 150 scenes (24.7\%), more often in men than women (26 out of 60 vs. 11 out of 90, respectively; p \< 0.001). Of note, in 16 of these 37 FP-rated scenes, a vibrating mobile phone was identified as a potential confounder. The emergency scenes were correctly rated in 64 of the 75 runs (85.3\%); 10 of the 11 FP-rated scenes occurred in male subjects. Conclusions: The MD allowed for identifying motions of test subjects with high sensitivity (96\%) and acceptable specificity (75\%). Accuracy might increase further if activities are recorded continuously under real-world conditions.},
