NCT ID NCT07755280
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at what influences sleep quality in patients recovering in the intensive care unit after open-heart surgery. Researchers will measure pain, fatigue, and environmental stressors to see which factors most affect sleep. The goal is to find ways to improve sleep and overall recovery for heart surgery patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could identify key factors that harm sleep after heart surgery, guiding better ICU care to improve patient recovery and comfort.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or hospitals, and sleep is influenced by many unmeasured factors.
