Effect of Aromatherapy Massage on Sleep Quality of Post-operative Cardiothoracic Patients

NCT05408650 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 62

Summary

Poor sleep is common in the ICU, especially among post-operative CABG and more severely ill patients. Additionally, patients after surgery suffer from changes in physiological parameters related to ICU stressors. Pharmacological interventions for sleep improvement can both disrupt and induce sleep and have many negative side effects on intensive care patients. Therefore, this gives the green light for using complementary therapy.
