Study Summary
This trial investigates if different frequencies of neurochecks in the ICU result in different levels of sleep in patients who have had elective aneurysm coiling. 22 patients will have EEGs monitored overnight to measure their sleep quality.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had a successful elective coiling procedure for an unruptured brain aneurysm and are in the ICU. It's not for those with past brain injuries, sleep disorders, cognitive issues, ongoing sedation, mechanical ventilation, pregnancy, or communication barriers in English.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if checking patients' neurological status hourly versus every other hour after brain surgery affects their sleep quality. Participants will be monitored using EEG during overnight hours to assess different stages of sleep and complete a questionnaire on sleep quality.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There may not be direct side effects from the intervention as it involves monitoring frequency rather than medication; however, changes in neurocheck frequency could potentially affect patient restfulness and overall recovery experience.
