Device: 2-lead limited electroencephalography recording
Registration Number
NCT03322371
Lead Sponsor
University of Utah
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare a 2-lead frontal electroencephalogram recording to a formal polysomnography (PSG) in detecting sleep vs. wake and depth of sleep in both healthy and ICU patients.

Detailed Description

Sleep in the intensive care unit (ICU) is poor and not well understood. Formal polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard measure, but impractical for critical care. The relative influence of environment, illness and interventions on sleep in critically ill patients is therefore essentially unknown. Interventions to improve sleep have been pragmatic and outcomes subjective or indirect, and uninformed. When it is done, formal PSG in critical illness demonstrates fragmented, shortened, interrupted and non-circadian sleep, with environmental noise, light, and frequent physical stimulation causing arousals.

  • Planned extubation in next 8 hours
  • Scheduled to leave the intensive care unit for any reason in the next 8 hours
  • Anticipated life expectancy of less than 24 hours
  • Electroencephalogram monitoring (current or scheduled in the next 8 hours)
  • Hemodynamic instability (defined as: (i) mean arterial pressure <60mmHg for >20 minutes with efforts to raise it or (ii) >2 liter fluid administered in 2h after operating room and anticipating on-going needs for fluid resuscitation or (iii) ICU MD determination of "atypical and profound hemodynamic instability" or (iv) PI determination after evaluation.
  • Refractory hypoxemia - defined as Saturation <88% on Sp02 despite efforts to increase it
  • Hemorrhage - defined as >500cc chest tube output in 2h and anticipated need of more than 2 units of packed red blood cells in immediate post op period. This does NOT include cell-saver.
