Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Sleep Quality and Neurocognitive Performance

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Neurobehavioral Manifestations, Sleep Deprivation, Dyssomnias

In brief

The purpose of this study is to understand patients' neurocognitive performance shortly after discharge from the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) and the potential effect of sleep quality in the MICU on those neurocognitive outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that post-ICU neurocognitive function and patient overall ICU sleep experience will improve through a pre-existing MICU sleep improvement initiative.
