Modifications in #ICU room design may reduce #delirium, where dedicated light therapy potentially contributed to differences in outcome. We are thrilled to share that the first research paper with data from the VITALITY study has been published in @CritCareMed. We made the paper #OpenAccess which can be downloaded here https://t.co/8i8gt2CyTj or by visiting the journals website https://t.co/PlKOK3JjdV #architecturaldesign #Melatonin #icudelirium #circadiandoctor #circadianmedicine @ChariteBerlin @artcom @graftlab

Circadian medicine in #ICU? The circadian nature of physiology has enormous untapped potential for research across intensive care medicine!

A profound message for all #ICU clinicians, #MedTwitter @SCCM families of #criticalcare patients, and all who doubt a patient can be awake & prefer it on a ventilator:

It's about time: #circadian medicine in the #ICU. Our short review published @yourICM discusses recent studies and opportunities for circadian #CriticalCare: https://t.co/Yuclt2d9hr https://t.co/iO9aJC4QwP. The circadian nature of physiology has enormous untapped potential for research across all facets of intensive care medicine, but clinical evidence is limited. Let us work on this! @LauraKervezee

Critical illness is a transformative and often traumatic event for the entire family. The authors summarize data on the outcomes and highlight the need to frame ICU care as part of a continuum of care for critically ill patients. https://t.co/auEmQCuqfE

What if it’s YOU on a ventilator⁉️

📌Attitudes on sedation preferences in this figure reflect lots of misunderstandings…
📌 These survey data are especially sad given they show medical professionals are unaware
📌 We have excellent data arguing against these misconceptions

[WesElyMD @WesElyMD]

Nurses are, by nature, problem solvers. When we block their innovative ideas of how to humanize care, it breaks their spirit. The job is hard enough. Allow #nurses to make pts wishes come true w music, ice cream, beer, & dogs! Otherwise we will lose our healers. ❤️‍🩹

Balcony of Hope? To be included in #ICU design! Outdoor spaces where spend time with family feeling sunlight/breeze are valuable therapeutic backing: well-being of critically ill can positively influence recovery & impact on outcome.

Thankful to be part of such a great congress with so many high skilled speakers and researchers. Received so many inputs … also in F2F discussions. Thank you @EDA_delirium @robertaevcastro

Modified #ICU environment associated with less #delirium - habitual ICU disrupts the sleep-wake cycle: great lecture by @aluetz @EDA_delirium #PedsICU

#Delirium monitoring in neurocritical care revealed good diagnostic performance. But be aware that even moderate sedation levels significantly impair score validity. Avoid sedation when possible! https://t.co/lgtFMXMI8x

What are the benefits of being awake & alert in the ICU? @DrDaleNeedham shares incredible research at @icurehab and the benefits of keeping patients awake, even if they have a breathing tube, and how it decreases delirium & recovery time. Listen now: https://t.co/sdSZHXYH8O
