Summary

The study design will allow investigators to describe usual care in each PICU and identify the facilitating and restraining factors impacting the implementation of R2 at each PICU. The purpose of this pilot study is to improve the care, environment, daily routine and sleep patterns of children in the PICU. The goal of this study is to learn what can be improved to support a critically ill child's healing and circadian rhythms.
