Abstract
We conclude that many of the noises causing sound peaks > or =80 dBA are amenable to behavior modification and that it is possible to reduce the noise levels in an ICU setting significantly through a program of behavior modification.

The form and validation results of APACHE II, a severity of disease classification system that uses a point score based upon initial values of 12 routine physiologic measurements, age, and previous health status, are presented.

The form and validation results of APACHE II, a severity of disease classification system, are presented, showing an increasing score was closely correlated with the subsequent risk of hospital death for 5815 intensive care admissions from 13 hospitals.

It is found that the occurrence of a wide range of catastrophic phenomena are influenced by sleep-related processes in ways heretofore not fully appreciated and occur most often at times of day coincident with the temporal pattern of brain processes associated with sleep.
CHEST JournalAdverse Environmental Conditions in the Respiratory and Medical ICU Settings
257 Citations1994Thomas J. Meyer, Scott E. Eveloff +4 more
The potential for environmentally induced sleep disruption is high in all areas, but especially high in the intensive and respiratory care areas where the negative consequences may be the most severe.
PubMedSleep deprivation and the control of ventilation.
249 Citations1983D P White, N J Douglas +3 more
Data indicate that ventilatory chemosensitivity may be substantially attenuated by even short-term sleep deprivation, and this absence of sleep could therefore contribute to hypoventilation in acutely ill patients.
SLEEPEnvironmental Noise as a Cause of Sleep Disruption in an Intermediate Respiratory Care Unit
230 Citations1996Joshua N. Aaron, Carol C. Carlisle +4 more
It is concluded that environmental noise may be an important cause of sleep disruption in the intensive and intermediate respiratory care unit (IRCU) areas, even at night.
PubMedNoise-induced stress as a predictor of burnout in critical care nurses.
213 Citations1988Margaret Topf, Ellis C. Dillon
Noise-induced occupational stress was positively related to burnout as measured by Jones's Staff Burnout Scale for Health Professionals and the emotional exhaustion subscale of Maslach's Burnout Inventory, and nurses with intrinsic sensitivity to noise were no more at risk for burnout linked with noise-induced stress than were less sensitive nurses.

Therapeutic interventions need to address each of these potential causes for sleep deprivation, with an emphasis placed on providing an environment that is both diurnal and focused on the importance of uninterrupted sleep.
American Review of Respiratory DiseaseSleep Loss Impairs Inspiratory Muscle Endurance
153 Citations1989Hsiun‐ing Chen, Yaru Tang
It is concluded that inspiratory muscle endurance may deteriorate after a 30-h sleep loss, and the respiratory muscle strength, FEV1, and FVC were unaltered.

It was concluded that, while both age groups were sensitive to moderate sleep disturbance, the older individuals appeared somewhat less sensitive than the young adults.
PubMedThe behavioral effects of noise on man: the patient with "intensive care unit psychosis".
88 Citations1984Hansell Hn
Familiarity with behavioral and clinical research regarding noise and its effect on man's behavior can serve as a guideline to the improvement of the quality of care that the critically ill patient receives.

The data from both experiments were interpreted as support for sleep continuity theory; i.e., as the length of periods of consolidated sleep decrease, residual decrements increase.
Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseSleep deprivation, physical fatigue, and the perception of exercise intensity
71 Citations1985W. S. Myles
Where the exercise is of several minutes' duration, RPE is increased by sleep deprivation and by physical fatigue, and where the exercise period is as short as 30 s, sleep deprivation has no effect and physical fatigue causes only a small change in the perception of exercise intensity.

It is concluded that transient EEG arousal may be repeatedly evoked from nonrapid eye movement sleep by transient acoustic stimulation in normal sleepers, a response that is not significantly affected by inspired hypercapnia or the presence of generalized EEG arousal.
PubMedThe noise hazard in a large health care facility.
27 Citations1991Annalee Yassi, D Gaborieau +2 more
The findings showed that noise is a serious hazard in many areas, that some cases of NIHL have developed from occupational exposure in this hospital, and that a control program is essential.

13 Citations1984Massimo Bovenzi, Andrea COLLARETA
Daytime and nighttime LAeq in patients' rooms and in ICUs were higher than the recommended standards and the measurement of A-weighted sound pressure levels disclosed that staff activities were responsible for the loudest noises.
