Vital Signs Reduction Study

Overnight vital signs are typically done every four hours on pediatric acute care units, despite limited evidence supporting the efficacy of this practice. Additionally, vital signs are often ordered and collected without considering the patient's clinical status or the potential impact that they may have on sleep. The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of forgone overnight vital signs on sleep quality and duration among children hospitalized in medical-surgical units, compared with children who receive standard of care vital signs.
