Adverse Events Module
For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Reiki/Manual Therapy | Reiki, a Japanese energy-based healing technique, is universal vital energy that flows throughout and encompasses all living forms (Rand, 1991). It is delivered by gentle hand placement either on/slightly above the body by certified Reiki practitioners. In this study, Reiki will be delivered first, for 15 min. and will involve light placement of hands on patients' head, chest, shoulders, hands, knees, and feet (\~ 3 minutes to each body part). Manual therapy (MT) includes light effleurage to head and feet (for 5 minutes; \~ 2.5 minutes to each body part) by the Reiki practitioner. MT techniques are defined as light circular stroking movements made with the hands. Reiki and MT will be delivered for 3 consecutive days beginning on the day after endotracheal tube removal. Reiki and MT will be delivered by 4 Reiki practitioners with training at a Level 2+. Reiki and manual therapy was delivered as one intervention. They are not two separate interventions.

| Usual Care Quiet Time | All usual care provided pre and post-operative management will continue, uninterrupted; including the 20 minute rest period. The only non-usual care component will be placement of a sign on the door to discourage visitors and providers from entering the room and disturbing the rest period. | 0 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | View |
