ABSTRACT: Objective: To develop an illness severity score that predicts short-term mortality, based on a small number of readily available measurements, and overcomes limitations of the SOFA score, ...

The proportion of patients with Richmond Agitation and Sedation (RASS) scores between –1 and +1 increased from 57.0% to 66.2% (p = 0.001), whereas the proportion of patients with a numeric ...

However, hospital policies limiting sedation in office-based settings push the procedure into the operating room, making abortion care more difficult to obtain and likely more expensive.

An oral, fixed-dose combination of midazolam and ketamine was effective for procedural sedation during cataract surgery.

RASS was used as a surrogate measure of sedation depth, patients with a score ≥ −1 were considered awake. V-V ECMO durations below 24 h were excluded. Primary endpoint was 30-day survival. Secondary ...

The authors tabulated all Richmond Agitation–Sedation Scale scores, frequency of score measurement, target scores, frequency and magnitude of scores that were out of target range, and the response to ...

The likelihood for deep sedation on ventilation was heightened among Hispanic vs. non-Hispanic white patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, according to results published in Annals of ...

Around the world, nurses are encouraged to use nurse-driven sedation scales, such as the Sedation Assessment Scale or the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale, as assessment tools for sedation titration ...

Comparing the assessment methods to dexmedetomidine concentration, the researchers observed that RASS scores decreased with increasing dexmedetomidine concentration but noted that, “Overall, the RASS ...

A family-centered, integrated behavioral and sedation protocol proved successful for common medical procedures among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or developmental delay.
