Brain waves vs. bedside checks: which tracks ICU sleep better?
NCT ID NCT07522450
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using an EEG (a device that measures brain activity) can give a more accurate picture of sleep quality in intensive care patients with acute respiratory failure, compared to the usual nurse assessments. About 47 adults in the ICU will have their sleep tracked by both methods. The goal is to see if EEG monitoring helps improve how sleep is evaluated in critically ill patients.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
During their stay in cricital care unit, patients with acute respiratory failure and ventilatory assistance by non-invasive ventilation and/or hig-flow oxygen therapy will included if all criteria are met. Participants will have their sleep quality assessed by both EEG monitoring and nurse assessment during the nights in critical care unit. Variables such as demographics, comorbidities, history of the disease leading to critical care unit, respiratory assessment, anxiety depression scale, sleep quality scale will be monitored.
