This trial tests whether controlled bright light in the ICU can improve confusion and the sleep-wake rhythm in adults who develop delirium. If it works, it may help patients become more clear-minded sooner while they recover in intensive care.
This study tests a “sleep chronobundle,” a set of sleep and light-timing steps, to improve daily sleep-wake timing in people in the ICU on breathing or blood-pressure support. It also checks whether the body’s sleep rhythms are more aligned during critical illness and over time.
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 study tests whether a special sleep-promoting program can help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery sleep better. If you or a loved one are recovering from surgery in the ICU, this program might improve sleep quality and recovery.
This study tests a journal to help parents and caregivers stay involved while their child is in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to see if the journal improves communication and engagement.
