Modifying the Inpatient Environment to Reduce Delirium in Older Adults

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Delirium, Sleep Hygiene

In brief

The overall goal is to reduce the incidence and burden of delirium, as measured by the delirium burden index (DBI) among hospitalized older adults (≥70 years), by modifying the inpatient environment to decrease its sleep antagonism. The investigators propose to implement a multi-modal sleep hygiene (MMSH) bundle, an enhancement of a previously reported sleep-focused intervention which had 88 - 100% compliance for intervention components, and reduced ICU delirium by 50%.
