Summary
This is a study of mechanically ventilated pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) teenage
patients and the effects of the medication dexmedetomidine on sleep, delirium, and sedation
level. The Investigators will assess sleep with an 8 lead polysomnogram study and increase
the medication at night for one night to see if the sleep architecture changes. The
Investigators will assess their sleep with our unit's sedation protocol for an additional
night.
