Noise causes sleep disruption for critical care patients
This leaflet includes insights on how the sleep quality of critically ill patients is affected by sound and what staff knows about the topic.
Estudio Borås: El ruido causa interrupciones en el sueño
En la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Hospital Borås, Suecia, un grupo de investigadores estudió cómo el sonido afecta a los pacientes en estado crítico. Descubrieron que los altos niveles de presión sonora y los picos de ruido hacen que los pacientes estén estresados y sean menos capaces de dormir. Y dormir es uno de los aspectos más importantes para la recuperación.
