Summary
Delirium is a disturbance in attention and awareness that occurs over a short period of time.
Delirium is common in critically ill patients, and poor sleep quality in the intensive care
unit (ICU) often worsens delirium. We aim to lower delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU)
by using ramelteon, which is a drug used to improve sleep at night.
