This study looks at how lack of sleep in the intensive care unit (ICU) might affect patients' nutrition. Understanding this may help improve how we support your nutrition during your stay.
This study tests whether helping ICU patients sleep better and keeping their body clock on a normal day-night rhythm can improve recovery after surgery.
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 personalized nighttime nursing care can improve sleep quality and health outcomes for conscious patients in the intensive care unit. Researchers believe better sleep may help patients recover faster and have better long-term health.
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.
