Sponsor's own description

The purpose of this study is to determine if using an over-the-counter, commercially available sleep noise machine playing pink or white noise will reduce the incidence of delirium in hospitalized patients over the age of 65. Delirium is an acute change in cognition which commonly occurs in hospitalized older adults, and is linked with sleep-wake cycle disturbance. Delirium is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well as longer hospital stays. This project will record delirium screening scores for those receiving the intervention and comparing them to baseline data. Reducing delirium rates using a noninvasive, inexpensive method in a hospital setting could have a significant impact on patient outcomes and potentially reduce costs associated with longer hospital stays. It is anticipated that white/pink noise played at night will decrease rates of delirium in hospitalized older adults.
