Sleep disturbances in critically ill patients in ICU: how much do we know?

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is a lack of studies showing the overall impact of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) on the treatment of critically ill patients in a general intensive care unit (ICU) setting. METHODS:A prospective observational study on the effects of MDCT on the treatment of patients in a 12-bed medical-sur...
