About this study

Official title: Sleep Quantity and Quality in the ICU: a Prospective Observational Study

Several evidences in the literature suggest sleep interruption in critical care patients. Nowadays, the amount and the quality of sleep phases during the length of stay in the intensive care unit are largely unknown.

In this study, the amount of time spent by the patients in N1, N2 N3 and REM phases during sleep is quantified.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sleep ProfilerDevice

    Patients are observed through a Sleep profiler, routinely used in the intensive care unit (ICU). This device is applied at every patient in the ICU and it acquires EEG, electrooculography, and electromyography from three frontopolar EEG signals.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sleep N2 phase

    describe the percentage of the total sleep time spent by the patient in N2 stage

    Measured: The sleep architecture will be observed during the first night spent in the ICU

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sleep N1 phase

    describe the percentage of the total sleep time spent by the patient in N1 stage

    Measured: The sleep architecture will be observed during the first night spent in the ICU

  2. Sleep N3 phase

    describe the percentage of the total sleep time spent by the patient in N3 stage

    Measured: The sleep architecture will be observed during the first night spent in the ICU

  3. Sleep REM phase

    describe the percentage of the total sleep time spent by the patient in REM stage

    Measured: The sleep architecture will be observed during the first night spent in the ICU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Disturbance and Critical Illness, run by Careggi Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sleep N2 phase (time frame: The sleep architecture will be observed during the first night spent in the ICU). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jul 2022.
