Correlação entre a escala de sedação de Ramsay, escala de sedação‐agitação de Richmond e escala de sedação‐agitação de Riker durante sedação com midazolam‐remifentanil

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 (RSAS) and the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) to test construct validity during midazolam-remifentanil sedation.
