Hospital ICU's hidden toll: how constant disruptions sabotage patient recovery
NCT ID NCT05828680
Summary
This study aims to understand how the intensive care unit (ICU) environment disrupts patients' natural sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythms) after heart surgery. Researchers will monitor 15 adult patients' sleep patterns, cognitive function, and how often they're visited by staff and family. The goal is to learn how these disruptions might affect recovery and identify ways to improve hospital environments for better healing.
