Our second podcast linked to the 2022 PCCS Conference in Leicester, September 2022, with Mike Farquhar, sleep consultant at Evelina Children’s Hospital, and Sapna Kudchadkar from Johns Hopkins.  This podcast went live at the time of Mike’s talk at the conference.  Take a walk around a paediatric intensive care unit. All the patients are lying, peacefully asleep. Except…. they are not asleep. They are sedated, experiencing fragmented and disturbed sleep.  We use this language all the time. We tell parents “we will keep your child asleep”, or “we will put them to sleep”. Neither of these are actually true.  What damage does prolonged fragmented sleep do? Which sedatives are worse than others for sleep? What can be done to improve sleep in our patients? What are the implications of prioritising sleep: and how do we get around the downsides?  What does the science say: is there research in to this, and are there proven benefits of improved sleep? And how much does Big Ben affect patients in Guy’s and St Thomas’s Hospital?
