Multicomponent intervention to improve delirium and sleep-wake rhythms in older ICU patients
Description: Page 1 of 12 (remove for final draft) PROJECT NARRATIVE Older adults (≥65 years old) now comprise the majority of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). In the ICU setting, these older patients frequently experience delirium and misaligned sleep-wake rhythms, placing them at high risk of poor outcomes after ICU discharge. In this proposed study, we will enroll an interdisciplinary team to implement a multicomponent nighttime and daytime intervention in two academic ICUs, with the goal of improving delirium and sleep-wake rhythms (as measured using wrist actigraphy) in vulnerable older ICU patients.
