TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 57. Sleep in the Ventilator-Supported Patient A1 - Hanly, Patrick J. A2 - Tobin, Martin J. Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Principles and Practice of Mechanical Ventilation, 3e AB - It is well recognized that sleep is abnormal in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although this has been described for decades, there is still no consensus on the underlying pathogenesis and the best way to manage it. Moreover, the assumption that abnormal sleep is not good for patients who are critically ill is based primarily on extrapolation from models of sleep loss and sleep disruption in other patient populations and not on evidence that abnormal sleep affects the clinical outcomes of patients in the ICU. Nevertheless, there is growing interest in this topic as the technology to measure sleep evolves and new ways are sought to improve patients’ ability to recover from their critical illness. This chapter outlines the current understanding of the causes and potential consequences of sleep disruption in ventilator-supported patients and how this may be further researched and treated.
