Sleep documentation by intensive care unit clinicians: Prevalence, predictors and agreement with sleep quality and duration

Nocturnal TST was evaluated with an activity monitor (Fitbit Charge 2), patient-perceived sleep quality was evaluated using the Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) and the final 29/77 (38%) patients were managed with a bundled sleep improvement protocol that did not specifically include any requirements for documentation (Louzon et al., 2020; Andrews et al., 2021). Strategies to boost ICU clinician sleep documentation need to be identified and evaluated.Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.Acknowledgements The authors would like to acknowledge Fahd Ali, MD, FACS for his administrative support and Krista Bricker, PharmD for assistance with data collection.
