Summary

Rationale: Sound levels in the Intensive Care Unit are frequently reported to exceed the recommended levels. It is plausible to assume that this causes sleep disturbance in the patients on the ICU.

Goals/endpoints: to assess sound pressure levels in 6 different Dutch ICU´s and evaluate the effect of higher levels on sleep as perceived by the patient.

Study design: observational multicenter study

Study population: adult ICU patients \> 18 years old with an expected duration of stay of more than 24 hours

Study parameters/endpoints:

Primary

1. To gather information on how Dutch ICUs perform on sound levels

1. Average sound pressure level
2. Number of sound peaks
2. To question patients about their perception of sleep quality (measured by RCSQ)
3. Causes of elevated sound pressure levels
4. Identification of the most annoying sounds experienced by the patient

Secondary

1\) Incidence of delirium measured by CAM-ICU
