New hope for restful nights in the ICU: sleep pill aims to fight Post-Surgery confusion

NCT ID NCT07407400

Summary

This study is testing if a sleep medication called lemborexant can help older patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) sleep better and reduce their risk of developing delirium, a serious state of confusion. It will involve 100 patients aged 65+ who are in the ICU after surgery. Participants will receive either the sleep medication or a placebo for three nights, while researchers measure their sleep quality and monitor for signs of delirium.
