Abstract
The recent study by Liu et al. published in Intensive Care Medicine aroused our great interest [1]. We greatly appreciate the authors’ focus on the quality of sleep in postoperative patients, which is critical to improving the quality of sleep in postoperative patients and facilitating the recovery of postoperative patients. This study has greatly improved our understanding of the effects of low-dose clonidine infusion on sleep in postoperative patients. However, we offer some suggestions for interpreting the results of this study.
最近,Liu 等人发表在《重症医学》(Intensive Care Medicine)上的研究引起了我们的极大兴趣[1]。我们非常赞赏作者对术后患者睡眠质量的关注,这对于提高术后患者的睡眠质量、促进术后患者的康复至关重要。这项研究极大地提高了我们对小剂量氯硝安定输注对术后患者睡眠影响的认识。不过,我们也为解释这项研究的结果提出了一些建议。
