Trial of ICU overnight resident scheduling plans
This study tests whether changing how ICU residents are scheduled for overnight shifts affects training and ICU operations. It looks at participating adult ICU patients and the residents and staff who work overnight during the study periods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older) admitted to the ICU during a study period.
- The ICU you’re in must use rotating resident trainees who cover overnight in-house for enough shifts.
- The ICU team must agree to let resident schedules be randomly assigned for the study.
- You must not be in the ICU at the very start of the study period.
- If you’re a resident: you must be in a Canadian accredited specialty program (not critical care), be able to do overnight in-house work with supervision, and have your first 4 weeks in the ICU all during one study period.

This trial tests a new structured method for combining workplace safety and patient safety in 24-hour care settings. It may help if you work at least half-time in such a workplace.
This trial studies whether a new AI teaching tool helps ICU residents learn more effectively during their rotation. You'll use the AI tool on a regular device and complete short check-ins over 2 weeks.
This study looks at whether having medical trainees (residents) participate in a follow-up clinic after an ICU stay affects patient care and follow-up. You may be eligible if you’re connected to the ICU follow-up clinic and had no death during your ICU stay.
This study tests different ways of organizing care and supporting patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) to see if they can improve recovery and well-being. It focuses on adults who need a breathing tube and are in the ICU for at least a day.
This study tests whether a special program led by nurses can help reduce stress and improve sleep for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you join, you may receive extra support to make your hospital stay calmer and more restful.
This trial studies whether planned overnight nutrition (through a feeding tube) can reduce sleep problems and daily body-clock disruption while you’re in the ICU after certain heart surgery. It may help you get more restful sleep and better regular “wake–sleep” timing during recovery.
