SCCM Resource Library-How to enhance sleep in patients with COVID-19

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Improving sleep in critically ill adults with COVID-19 is crucial, as sleep disturbances are common and affect recovery. Strategies to enhance sleep include assessing previous sleep history, implementing non-pharmacologic approaches like reducing noise and light pollution, adjusting room temperature, and focusing on patient comfort. Sedated patients may not be able to communicate their sleep preferences, and some interventions may be limited due to contact precautions. Non-pharmacologic methods should be prioritized, but in certain cases, sleep aids may be considered. The goal is to create a conducive sleep environment and promote restful sleep for better outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
