    Sleep and Delirium in Adults Who Are Critically Ill - 4 year(s) ago

    Sleep is important to health and well-being, and studies in healthy adults have demonstrated that sleep deprivation impacts respiratory, immune, and cognitive function. Historically, because of the nature of critical illness, sleep has not been considered a priority for patient care in the ICU. More recently, research has demonstrated that sleep is markedly abnormal in patients who are critically…

    Sleep Apnea and Chronic Kidney Disease - 4 year(s) ago

    Patients with chronic kidney disease have increased morbidity and mortality, mainly due to cardiovascular disease. Compared with the general population, patients with chronic kidney disease have an increased prevalence of both OSA and central sleep apnea, and the presence of sleep apnea in this population has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Although…

    The 6-Min Walk Test - 4 year(s) ago

    FEV1 is recommended for rating the severity of obstructive and restrictive pulmonary diseases, but it only moderately correlates with quality of life, mortality, and functional status. The 6-min walk test has been increasingly used in clinical practice and research studies as an objective measurement of functional status in patients with moderate-to-severe impairment. This low complexity test…
