Both, SWA and clinical evaluation suggested that the quality and depth of nighttime sleep were poor in most patients with hyperactive delirium despite dexmedetomidine infusion. Furthermore, the SWA and clinical evaluation classifications were not uniformly in agreement. An objective mode such as practical EEG-based solution for sleep evaluation and individual drug dosing in the ICU setting could offer potential in improving sleep for patients with delirium.
