First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program to help adult patients sleep better in the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery. The program includes sleep education, earplugs and eye masks, reducing noise and light at night, and grouping nursing tasks to avoid waking patients. Researchers will compare sleep quality between patients who receive the program and those who get usual care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Multimodal sleep promotion intervention (behavioral)
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could improve sleep quality and recovery for ICU patients, reducing delirium and enhancing satisfaction.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with 50 patients, not randomized, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention may not significantly improve sleep in a busy ICU setting.
