Sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances in intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired delirium: a caseβcontrol study
Sleep and body clock problems linked to delirium in intensive care patients
AI simplified
Abstract
Patients with exhibited less than 1.05% rapid eye movement (REM) sleep compared to controls.
- levels were lower and levels were higher in patients with delirium than in the control group.
- , melatonin, and cortisol levels are significantly associated with the occurrence of ICU-acquired delirium.
- Optimal cutoff values for predicting delirium included REM sleep at β€1.05%, mean melatonin at β€422.09 pg/mL, and cortisol at β₯212.14 ng/mL.
- Improving sleep patterns and restoring circadian rhythm may be potential therapeutic approaches for ICU-acquired delirium.
