Quantifying agitation in sedated ICU patients using digital imaging
Agitation is a significant problem in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), affecting 71% of sedated adult patients during 58% of ICU patient-days. Subjective scale based assessment-methods focused primarily on assessing excessive patient motion are currently used to assess the level of patient agitation, but are limited in their accuracy and resolution. This research quantifies this approach by devel...
متن کامل[The correlation among the Ramsay sedation scale, Richmond agitation sedation scale and Riker sedation agitation scale during midazolam-remifentanil sedation].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Sedative and analgesic treatment administered to critically ill patients need to be regularly assessed to ensure that previously stated goals are well achieved as the risk of complications of oversedation is minimized. We revised and prospectively tested the Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) for interrater reliability and compared it with the Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale (...
متن کاملEarly deep sedation is associated with decreased in-hospital and two-year follow-up survival
INTRODUCTION There is increasing evidence that deep sedation is detrimental to critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to examine effects of deep sedation during the early period after ICU admission on short- and long-term survival. METHODS In this observational, matched-pair analysis, patients receiving mechanical ventilation that were admitted to ICUs of a tertiary university hos...
متن کاملInadequate Sedation During Therapeutic Paralysis: Use of Bispectral Index in Critically Ill Patients
BACKGROUND Patients receiving therapeutic paralysis may experience inadequate sedation due to intrinsic limitations of behavioral sedation assessment. Bispectral index (BIS™) provides an objective measure of sedation; however, the role of BIS™ is not well defined in intensive care unit (ICU) patients on neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to delineate the...
متن کاملDaily sedation interruption versus targeted light sedation strategies in ICU patients.
OBJECTIVE The updated clinical practice guidelines for the management of pain, agitation, and delirium recommend either daily sedation interruption or maintaining light levels of sedation as methods to improve outcomes for patients who are sedated in the ICU. We review the evidence supporting both methods and discuss whether one method is preferable or if they should be used concurrently. DAT...
