Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to monitor sleep in patients using breathing machines, because little is known about sleep when patients use masks to help their breathing. We'd like to compare sleep in patients using masks to that in patients with a tube in their throats.


Description:

Sleep in critically-ill patients is commonly severely fragmented, and sleep architecture is altered as compared to a healthy person. This abnormal sleep may cause some important adverse psychological and physiological consequences. Noise, light, patient-care activities, pain, or medications are some of the contributing factors to sleep disruption in the ICU. Recent evidence also suggests that invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) itself may lead to sleep fragmentation in the ICU. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a well-established, relatively new form of ventilation which improves sleep quality or gas exchange in some patients with chronic hypoventilatory disorders. Although sleep may be disrupted due to discomfort from the mask or air leaking during NIV use; intermittent use of NIV may result in better sleep quality between NIV sessions. The effects of NIV on sleep in the acute care setting have not yet been studied.

The purpose of the study is to describe the sleep architecture of a cohort of critically-ill patients using NIV, comparing findings to a reference group of patients using (IMV).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary To define sleep characteristics in critically-ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation in medical ICU and coronary care unit (CCU) During 24-hour monitorization period (after recruitment into the study)
Secondary To compare total sleep time and differences in sleep architecture including time spent in different sleep stages and arousals in critically-ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation in medical ICU and CCU During 24-hour monitorization
Secondary To determine sleep patterns during NIV use, correlating sleep with periods of use and air leaking During 24-hour monitorization
Secondary To monitor environmental factors including noise, light and patient care activities, and to associate these with sleep patterns During 24-hour monitorization
Secondary To assess associations of severity of illness and sedation usage with sleep patterns During 24-hour monitorization period
