Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effect of sleep deprivation on respiratory muscle performance in ICU patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, focusing on the relationship between sleep quality and the need for intubation.* -
- A total of 34 subjects were monitored with polysomnography, revealing that while total sleep time was relatively maintained, many experienced inadequate REM sleep, with 38% having none at all.* -
- The results indicated no significant difference in sleep quality between those who required intubation and those who did not, but suggested a potential link between the absence of REM sleep and an increased risk of intubation, warranting further research.*
Unlabelled: The use of arterial catheters is frequent in intensive care for hemodynamic monitoring of patients and for blood sampling, but they are often removed because of dysfunction. The primary objective is to compare the prevalence of radial arterial catheter dysfunction according to location in relation to the radiocarpal joint in intensive care patients.
Design: Prospective randomized, controlled, single-center study.
Background: Sleep had never been assessed immediately after extubation in patients still in the ICU. However, sleep deprivation may alter respiratory function and may promote respiratory failure. We hypothesized that sleep alterations after extubation could be associated with an increased risk of post-extubation respiratory failure and reintubation.

Objective: The goal of this study was to assess whether diaphragm dysfunction detected by ultrasound prior to extubation could predict extubation failure in the ICU.
Methods: This multicenter prospective study included patients at high risk of reintubation: those aged > 65 years, with underlying cardiac or respiratory disease, or intubated > 7 days.
Sleep is markedly altered in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and may alter respiratory performance. Our objective was to assess the impact of sleep alterations on weaning duration.We conducted a prospective physiological study at a French teaching hospital.
