A Prospective Longitudinal Mixed Study on the Change Track of Sleep Quality in Critically Ill Children

With the progress and development of medical technology, the mortality rate of critically ill children continues to decline. To improve the long-term prognosis of children has become a new goal of modern medicine. Sleep disorders in critically ill children are caused by disease factors, the complex environment of ICU, and various treatment factors, which have seriously affected the patient's rehabilitation and long-term quality of life. Attention should be paid to the sleep disorders in critically ill children. At present, the research on sleep disorders in critically ill patients in China is mostly focused on adults, and the critically ill children are rarely involved, and there is no research related to sleep disorders and recovery tracks of critically ill children. This prospective longitudinal mixed study aims to describe the change trajectory of sleep disorder and recovery in critically ill children and provide suggestions for subsequent clinical workers to formulate reasonable intervention measures.
