Abstract: | Purpose The clinical sedation scores available for assessing sedation in the intensive care unit (ICU) have drawbacks and limit their usefulness in paralyzed and deeply sedated patients. An objective tool, the bispectral index (BIS), could prove beneficial in such circumstances. We evaluated the ability of BIS to assess the level of sedation and its correlation with the Richmond agitation sedation scale (RASS) in ICU. |
