Description:
The delirium diagnosed with shockingly high frequency in critically ill patients seems to be iatrogenic all too often. Without an effective way to treat it, we are left with prevention as the primary strategy with all other intervention reactive and unproven. It is in this spirit of prevention that sleep disruption is being investigated as a potentially modifiable risk factor for the development of ICU delirium.
