Mr. Igor I had unpleasant dreams during the artificial coma.

Il signor Igor ha fatto sogni spiacevoli durante il coma artificiale.

I: Sono sogni così?
E: Sì, come i sogni flash e in realtà qualcosa / non so come spiegarlo. / In parte terribile / una volta ho sognato in modo tale che si può immaginare come un cerchio. 
Questo cerchio è diviso in tante piccole parti. E lì ho visto il mio trike ancora e ancora. Ma sempre solo piccole sezioni accese/divise. 
Quando mi sono svegliato, ero bagnato fradicio.
E completamente [confuso].
Un vero incubo. 
I: Sì. 
E: Questo si è ripetuto quasi tutta la notte. 
I: E questo sogno si ripeteva ancora e ancora [ancora? 
E: Sì. Sì. Sì.

Nel signor Igor I. la sedazione causa sogni.

Herr Igor I. hatte während des künstlichen Komas unangenehme Träume.

I: Sind das so Träume?
E: Ja, so Blitzträume und eigentlich etwas / ich weiss nicht, wie ich es erklären soll. / Zum Teil fürchterlich / einmal habe ich so geträumt, dass man sich so vorstellen kann wie ein Kreis. 
Dieser Kreis wird aufgesplittet in ganz viele kleine Teile. Und da habe ich immer wieder mein Trike gesehen. Aber immer nur kleine Ausschnitte auf / aufgesplittet. 
Als ich dann wach wurde, war ich klitschnass.
Und völlig [durcheinander.
Ein richtiger Albtraum. 
I: Ja. 
E: Das hat sich dann fast die ganze Nacht wiederholt.
I: Und dieser Traum kam immer wieder und immer wieder? 
E: Ja. Ja. Ja.

Bei Herrn Igor I. führt die Sedierung zu Träumen.

M. Igor, j'ai fait des rêves désagréables pendant le coma artificiel.

I : Des rêves ?
E : Oui, comme des rêves flash et en fait quelque chose / je ne sais pas comment l'expliquer. / Une fois j'ai rêvé comme ça, que vous pouviez vous imaginer comme un cercle. 
Ce cercle est divisé en plusieurs petites parties.  Et c'est là que j'ai continué à voir mon trike. Mais toujours seulement de petites sections / divisées. 
Et quand je me suis réveillé, j'étais trempé.
Et complètement confus.
Un vrai cauchemar. 
I : Oui. 
E : Cela s'est ensuite répété presque toute la nuit. I : Et ce rêve est revenu encore et encore [encore ? 
E : Oui,  Oui. Oui.

Chez Mr Igor I. la sédation entraîne des rêves.

I: Are they dreams like that?
E: Yes, such flash dreams and actually something / I don't know how to explain it. / Partly terrible / once I dreamt in such a way that you can imagine like a circle. 
This circle is split up into many small parts. And there I saw my trike again and again. But always only small sections on / split. 
When I woke up, I was soaking wet.
And completely [confused].
A real nightmare. 
I: Yes. 
E: That then repeated itself almost the whole night. 
I: And this dream came over and over [again? 
E: Yes. Yes. Yes.

In Mr. Igor I. sedation causes dreams.

Many patients in the ICU experience the state of coma or sedation. Coma can be caused by changes in metabolism, the severe illness, or sedating and pain-relieving medications. Thus, patients often experience their time in the ICU in a fragmented way and forget much of the experience.

Experiences in Intensive Care

Mr IGOR I. could only see the ceiling of the room. He was very sensitive to the various sounds and noises.

I didn't see any windows either. Nothing at all. 
I: What did you see? 
E: Only the lights from 
I: ceiling. 
E: From the ceiling, yes. And sometimes the faces of the staff. 
I: How was it with hearing? 
E: Almost everything. 
I: How was that for you? 
E: Partly it was almost painful in the ears at the beginning. Especially the high-pitched sounds.  When they put down tweezers or scissors or something, there was a resonance. In the head afterwards, which was not very pleasant.  Also paper. When someone wrote, it rustled like that. 
I: Yes. 
E: When someone wrote something down or partly wrote on the laptop, that annoyed me. 
I: Yes. Did that bother you when you were sleeping or was it just annoying? 
E: No, it also disturbed when I was sleeping. 
I: Yes. Were you able to sleep well? 
E: No. Not at all.

Mr. IGOR I. remembers the ceiling of the room and a lot of noise.

The intensive care unit is bustling with activity. Clinical teams are busy with intensive patient care and emergencies. The environment is dominated by machines and modern technology that enable survival in critical illness.  In addition, there are team conversations and sounds from neighboring patients. This leads to noise, light, which can be disturbing for the patients.
