Summary
Perioperative sleep disorders are common and impact patient recovery. This review identifies key risk factors and prevention strategies for better surgical outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine
- Sleep Medicine
- Patient Outcomes Research
Background:
- Sleep disorders frequently affect patients during the perioperative period.
- These sleep disturbances can significantly impair post-operative recovery and outcomes.
- Various factors contribute to perioperative sleep disorders, including patient-specific, psychological, surgical, and environmental elements.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and summarize the potential risk factors associated with perioperative sleep disorders in hospitalized patients.
- To provide an overview of the impact of these disorders on perioperative outcomes.
- To explore potential therapeutic and preventive strategies for perioperative sleep disorders.
Main Methods:
- Literature review synthesizing existing research on perioperative sleep disorders.
- Identification and categorization of risk factors.
- Overview of clinical outcomes and current prevention approaches.
Main Results:
- Multiple risk factors identified across personal, psychological, surgical, and environmental domains.
- Perioperative sleep disorders are linked to adverse post-operative outcomes.
- Potential preventive and therapeutic interventions have been discussed.
Conclusions:
- Understanding risk factors is crucial for managing perioperative sleep disorders.
- Further research is needed to validate the effectiveness and safety of prevention strategies in clinical practice.
- Advancing therapeutic interventions for perioperative sleep disturbances is essential.

01:24Sleep-Wake Cycles
Sleep is an essential physiological process vital to maintaining overall well-being. The reticular activating system (RAS), a network of neurons in the brainstem, regulates wakefulness and sleep. While it may seem passive, sleep consists of distinct cycles, each with its unique characteristics and functions. Two key sleep phases are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM).

01:24General Anesthesia: Overview
Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...

01:22Stages of General Anesthesia
Various sedation levels offer significant advantages in facilitating procedural interventions for patients undergoing medical or invasive surgical procedures. These levels span from anxiolysis to general anesthesia, providing a spectrum of sedative effects to cater to specific patient needs. Anxiolysis reduces anxiety and is achieved through minimal sedation, enabling patients to remain awake and responsive while feeling more at ease during the procedure. This level can benefit minor...
01:15REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.

01:07Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by pervasive, uncontrolled sleepiness and other sleep disturbances. One of its hallmark symptoms is an abrupt transition to REM sleep upon falling asleep, which causes symptoms typically associated with this phase to occur unexpectedly during wakefulness. These include the following symptoms, which typically last from a minute or two to half an hour.
01:18Nightmares and Night Terrors
Nightmares and night terrors represent two distinct types of sleep disturbances that differ in timing, characteristics, and the sleeper's recall of the event. Nightmares are vivid, disturbing dreams that usually awaken the sleeper from REM sleep, a stage of sleep where brain activity is high, and dreams are most frequent. Upon awakening, individuals often have detailed recollections of their nightmares, which can include themes of threats to survival, security, or self-esteem.
