Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Excerpt

In this issue of Intensive Care Medicine, Farias and colleagues [1] present the results of a multicenter prospective cohort study describing children mechanically ventilated for 12 h or more in one of 36 pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) over a 2-month period from April to May 1999. This study [1], performed on behalf of the International Group of Mechanical Ventilation in Children (IGMVC), is important because it is unclear if reports of data from surveys asking PICU physicians how they think they practice represent reality. …
