Nighttime Sleep Duration Is Associated With Length of Stay Outcomes Among Older Adult Survivors of Critical Illness.

DISCUSSION: Older ICU survivors demonstrate greater sleep duration and worse sleep fragmentation. Poor sleep may contribute to longer LOS, secondary to post-ICU syndrome and sequelae. We recommend nursing interventions to promote sleep consolidation throughout transitions of care in the acute post-ICU recovery period. PMID: 32251163 [PubMed - in process]
