Management of Insomnia01:19

Management of Insomnia

371
The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming. Insomnia, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves difficulty falling asleep, staying...

Chronopharmacokinetics: Circadian Rhythms and Influence on Drug Response

186
Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

264
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's...

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

4.3K
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

Understanding Sleep01:11

Understanding Sleep

1.0K
Sleep, an essential biological state, involves significant reductions in physical activity, sensory awareness, and interaction with the environment. This complex physiological process is primarily regulated by specific brain regions, notably the hypothalamus and pons, which govern the sleep-wake cycle or circadian rhythm.
The circadian rhythm, a nearly 24-hour cycle, is deeply influenced by environmental light cues. Light exposure directly affects the hypothalamus, which in turn regulates...

Summary

Critically ill patients often lose core body temperature (CBT) rhythmicity and normal sleep patterns. Further research is needed to understand factors influencing sleep and circadian rhythms in the ICU.

Area of Science:

  • Critical care medicine
  • Sleep science
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Core body temperature (CBT) patterns during sleep are not well-described in critically ill patients.
  • Understanding these patterns is crucial for improving patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize night-time sleep and its relationship to core body temperature (CBT) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
  • To investigate the complexity of circadian rhythms and sleep patterns in the critically ill.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study in a tertiary adult ICU.
  • Assessed sleep using polysomnography (PSG) in 20 mechanically ventilated patients.
  • Monitored 24-hour CBT, nursing interventions (TISS), and illness severity (SOFA, APACHE II).

Main Results:

  • Patients spent approximately 50% of the time awake with minimal REM sleep and frequent arousals.
  • 65% of patients exhibited a 24-hour CBT rhythm, but with highly variable peak times.
  • No significant associations were found between CBT rhythmicity, sleep stages, EEG, severity scores, or nursing interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Critically ill patients often exhibit disrupted CBT rhythmicity and sleep architecture.
  • Promoting sleep and circadian rhythm requires further investigation into environmental and clinical factors.
  • The relationship between circadian rhythms and sleep in the ICU is complex and warrants further study.
