Topic: sleep architecture

Mansi Chhajed examines how the move from home sleep patterns to disrupted hospital sleep relates to cognitive outcomes after surgery. The session combines longitudinal sleep measurements with clinical assessments of postoperative delirium to identify baseline markers of vulnerability and consider practical ways to improve recovery. It connects sleep architecture, biological and environmental influences, and preoperative risk with proactive, sleep-informed patient care. Chhajed is a Clinical Research Coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital. Online via Zoom Webinar. Tuesday 29 September 2

Parkinson's patients face many challenges in their daily lives due to their symptoms. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an intervention that uses electrical stimulation to help alleviate some of the extrapyramidal symptoms. However, DBS also has some notable side effects, one of which is its impact on sleep. The impact of DBS on sleep architecture, circadian rhythms, and other various sleep issues is not well understood. This paper will evaluate peer-reviewed publications on the effect of DBS on sleep, the mechanisms, and the effects for the patients. The conclusion of these questionnaires is
