This study included patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery. Troponin T (TnT) was measured on the first three postoperative days. The revised cardiac risk index, HAS-BLED (hyper...
s Aim: To examine whether the serum melatonin levels in ICU patients are affected by light exposure in the "light" and "dark" parts of the ICU. Method: We measured serum melatonin levels of 10 ICU patients having their bed positioned in the "light part" (artificial and natural light) and "dark part" (only artificial light) of the ICU at two differe...

Background
Intensive care unit (ICU) patients experience two affronts to normal 24‐h rhythms: largely internal events such as medication and external factors such as light, noise and nursing interventions.
Aims and objectives
We investigated the impact of light variance within an ICU on 24‐h rhythmicity of three key physiological parameters: heart...
The nurses had mean age 41.7 ± 7.5 years • 75,5% were shiftworkers and 76,1% working and living in regional cities. • The mean reported TST was 5.9±1.68 hours. • Nurses working in Athens compared to regional and island hospitals were more likely to nap before a night shift, and more likely to engage in moderate exercise. • Regression analysis confi...

The aim of this study is to assess irritability, depression, anxiety and the health-related quality of life of patients visiting a smoking c...
ICU patients typically exhibit pathologic wakefulness, poor quality of daytime sleep, nocturnal sleep fragmentation, and sleep patterns that feature the absence of SWS and REM. This paper offers a review of the existing literature examining circadian desynchronization in critically ill patients, highlighting contributing factors identified by schol...
Background: Various sleeping problems and coping mechanisms have been presented in the bibliography by researchers in order the negative effects of shiftworking to be minimized. The aim of this study was to examine if physical activity and daily short nap are two of the strategies that could help nurses cope with sleep problems.

This study represents a first controlled comparison of restricted versus unrestricted sleep in both day and night sleep categories. A repeated measures study of a homogenous group of young women without sleep disorders (n=14) found that stage 1, 2, 3 and REM sleep, as well as sleep latency were not statistically different between day ad libitum sle...
Background . Prolonged immobilization, nutritional and vitamin D deficiency, and specific drug administration may lead to significant bone resorption. Methods and Patients . We prospectively evaluated critically ill patients admitted to the ICU for at least 10 days. Demographics, APACHE II, SOFA scores, length of stay (LOS), and drug administration...
Background
RN nurses who are routinely work rotating shifts are exposed to sleepiness which
can lead to acute insomnia.
