Prevalence and Affecting Factors of Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Disorders in ICU: An Observational Study
Most ICU patients experience sleep and circadian disruption (SCD), which causes a profound negative impact on patients, such as prolonged mechanical ventilation, glucose intolerance, and the occurrence of delirium. In order to better promote the alignment of circadian rhythm in ICU patients, this project will explore the prevalence of SCD and a series of influencing factors contributing to SCD in ICU patients, to help construct targeted intervention programs in the future.
• Adult patients older than 18 years old.
• Patients transferred to ICU during the time period of 8:00-22:00.
• Stay in the ICU for more than 12 hours and at least one overnight period.
• Patients or their family members are informed and consent to participate in the research.
