Sleep problems and confusion after children's heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.

This research examines how sleep issues before heart surgery may affect how well patients recover afterward. Researchers will study blood markers and chemical changes to better understand this connection and potentially improve surgical outcomes.
This study tests whether improving sleep before heart surgery can help prevent confusion (delirium) after surgery. Participants will get a sleep intervention (possibly including melatonin) before their operation, and the trial will monitor their recovery.
This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
This study tests whether seeing a starry sky projection and hearing your voice can help your child sleep better after heart surgery in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could make their recovery more comfortable and less stressful.
