Improving Sleep and Reducing External Stimuli With the Maya

Not Applicable
Conditions
Critical Illness
Interventions
Device: Maya
Registration Number
NCT05078645
Lead Sponsor
Radboud University Medical Center
Brief Summary

Lack of sleep is a large problem for many patients in hospitals. Common causes are nuisances by light and sound. Especially with critically ill patients in the Intensive Care unit (ICU), Medium Care Unit (MCU) and Cardiac Care Unit (CCU), who are are monitored intensively, a lack of sleep often occurs.

Patients with a lack of sleep more offer suffer from delirium, are more often anxious and stressed, and have a longer length of stay in the hospital. Also, patients' lack of sleep enhances nurses workloads during nightshifts. Because of this, there is a strong need for innovative devices which aim to limit the light and sound nuisances and thereby enhance patients' quality of sleep in the ICU, MC and CCU.

The Maya is a special "cover" which can be placed over the head of the bed. As a result patients are able to limit light and sound nuisances and enhance their privacy.

With this pilot-study we aim to determine:

* The feasibility and experiences of patients and healthcare professionals with the Maya.

* To determine the effect size of dependent variables which can be used in future studies.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of sleepup to six days

patients' quality of sleep is measured once a day with the Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ); (minimum score 0 = worst sleep - maximum score 100 = best sleep)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Respiratory rateup to six days

Respiratory rate is measured every two hours with a respiratory rate monitor and reported as rate per minute

NRS sleepup to six days

Patients' sleep is measured once a day with the sleep numeric rating scale (NRS sleep); (minimum score 0 = worst sleep - maximum score 10 = best sleep)

Delirium CCUup to six days

CCU patients' delirium is measured once a day with the delirium observation scale (DOSS); (minimum score 0 = no delirium; a score of \>= 3 means delirium; maximum score 65)

Soundup to six days

Sound levels (decibel). This will be measured with a validated application on a mobile phone

Hart rateup to six days

hart rate is measured with a heart rate monitor and reported every two hours as beats per minute (BPM)

Blood pressureup to six days

Blood pressure is measured every two hours with a intra-arterial catheter or a bloodpressure cuff and reported as diastolic value and systolic value (mmHg)

Arousalup to six days

patients' arousal is measured once a day with the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS); (minimum score -5 = no reaction - maximum score = 4 very agitated)

Anxietyup to six days

Patients' anxiety is measured once a day with the Daily Assesment of symptoms of Anxiety (DAS-A); (minimum score 0 = no anxiety - maximum score 24 = a lot of anxiety)

NRS Stressup to six days

Patients' stress is measured once a day with the stress numeric rating scale (NRS-stress); (minimum score 0 = no stress - maximum score 10 = most imaginable stress)

Delirium ICU/MCup to seven days

ICU/MC patients' delirium is measured once a day with the Intensive Care Delirium Checklist (ICDSC); (minimum score 0 = no delirium; a score of 1 - 3 means subsyndromal delirium; a score of 4 - 8 means delirium; maximum score 8)

Lightup to six days

Light level (LUX). This will be measured with a validated application on a mobile phone

oxygen saturationup to six days

Oxygen saturation is measured every two hours with a oxygen saturation monitor and reported as a percentage
