ConceptRichmond agitation sedation scale (RASS)
DescriptionA scale used to measure the agitation or sedation level of a patient.
UseRASS is mostly used in the setting of mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit to avoid over- and under-sedation. Also as the first step in administering the Confusion Assessment Method in the ICU (CAM-ICU), a tool to detect delirium in intensive care unit patients.
PurposeTo measure the agitation or sedation level of a hospitalized patients.
