Personalized Night-time Nursing to Improve Sleep in Critically Ill Patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study uses the Sleepscan device to guide nighttime nursing care for ICU patients. Eligible participants are adults in the ICU with stable consciousness and no urgent need for intubation, and who are not on continuous sedation. The goal is to see if tailoring care to a patient’s sleep cycle can improve sleep quantity and sleep stages, and whether better sleep translates to better prognosis. The study excludes patients with certain brain or sleep disorders, recent sleep-modifying meds, or short expected stays. Outcomes focus on sleep improvement and related clinical prognosis in a real-world ICU setting across multiple hospitals.
