Post-Stroke Enhancement of Delirium Outcomes With Reduction in Neuro-checks
Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina
Summary
There have been limited studies on delirium in patients hospitalized with acute stroke. There have been no studies on the potential impact of overnight neuro-checks and resulting sleep disruption on delirium or other outcomes. Additional research is needed to determine if overnight checks are necessary or even harmful. We aim to find out if stopping overnight neuro checks may prevent delirium and benefit the patient.

Interventions
Decreased Neuro Checks overnight
If a patient is randomized to the intervention group, the team will discontinue neuro-checks between 8pm and 4am. They will otherwise receive the same care, including overnight vital signs. If the patient has a neurologic or hemodynamic change, the primary team may elect to restart the overnight neuro-checks.
