The quantium consciousness index (qCON), an electroencephalography (EEG)-based modality, has no studies regarding intensive care unit (ICU) sedation, though very few studies describe its use for assessing depth of anesthesia in the operation theater. In this study, we evaluated qCON for assessing sedation compared with Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) in patients on a mechanical ventilator in the ICU.
