Sleep, circadian rhythms and outcomes in intensive care unit

Share

1

Sleep and circadian rhythms are crucial for physiological homeostasis, affecting immune, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurocognitive functions.
2

Disruptions in sleep and circadian rhythms are common in ICU patients, impacting clinical outcomes and recovery.
3

Altered sleep architecture in ICU patients is linked to prolonged mechanical ventilation and increased risk of delirium.
4

Circadian rhythm disruptions correlate with systemic inflammation, disease severity, and poor prognosis in critically ill patients.
5

Sleep and circadian disturbances may persist post-ICU discharge, contributing to cognitive impairment and reduced quality of life.
