| Description | Sleep is an important part of human life. Loss of sleep (sleep deprivation) may have important implications on human organism. The perioperative period and ICU stay are associated with multiple factors causing changes in sleep length and architecture. The resulting effect and sleep pattern seem to be very similar to sleep-deprived patients. Surgical and critically ill patients may suffer from sleep disorders a few days after surgery or discharge from the ICU because of a rebound phenomenon of rapid eye movement and slow-wave sleep, which may be associated e.g. with obstructive sleep apnoea and/or delirium onset. |
