ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06830369
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Admission to a surgical intensive care unit (ICU) following major surgery is associated with a number of discomforts, not only related to the disease itself, but also to the care provided or the ICU environment itself (lights, sounds, pain, sleep deprivation, thirst...). This discomfort is real, and can be associated with psychological consequences.
