Abstract
A sleep hygiene protocol to reduce risks for delirium among critically ill patients in a transplant intensive care unit was implemented in an urban hospital in the Upper Midwest. The project occurred over a 1-month time frame. The project evaluated the number of hours of uninterrupted sleep, overall participation in therapies and activity, agitation, and confusion scores using standard, validated tools. Staff education was provided pre- and postproject implementation. Pre- and postimplementation surveys were used to assess the knowledge of staff and evaluation of the project. Project results demonstrated effectiveness in reducing sleep disturbance and the risk for delirium.
