Brief Summary

Sleep investigation in respirator treated ICU patients: the importance of intensive environment. Sleep disturbances in the ICU seem to lead to development of delirium, prolonged ICU stay and increased mortality. The hypothesis of this study is: minimizing of disturbing factors in the ICU, such as noise, light, therapeutic and diagnostic procedures between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. will improve sleep quality in respirator treated ICU patients. Methods: randomized interventional study. 48-hour polysomnographic sleep measurement acc. AASM's standard in 46 awake respirator treated patients: 24 hours under ordinary circumstances and 24 hours under the protocol 'Quiet in the room' between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. after randomization.

NO INTERVENTION

24 hour PSG in 46 patients under ordinary (routine) conditions

24 hours PSG under protocol 'Quiet in the room'

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

24 hour PSG in the same 46 patients with protocol 'Quiet in the room' from 10 p.m. til 6 a.m.

Behavioral: protocol 'Quiet in the room'

Interventions

Protocol 'Quite in the room' between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. * nurse nearby * no visits after 10 p.m. * decreased alarm sound in ventilator and monitor * decreased light intensity * no unnecessary conversations around the patient * medication should be limited to max 1-2 times in this time period * no unnecessary therapeutic or diagnostic procedures in this time period * earplugs and sleep masks

24 hours PSG under protocol 'Quiet in the room'
