RESULTS OF THE RICHMOND AGITATION SEDATION SCALE APPLICATION IN PATIENTS WITH MECHANICAL VENTILATION UNDER SEDATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate results of the RASS application in caring and monitoring of mechanically ventilated patients using sedatives at the Center for Critical Care Medicine of Bach Mai Hospital. Method: a prospective observational study was carried out on 60 patients who were under the invasive ventilation with sedation during the period from August 2023 to April 2024. Results: Male/female ratio was 2:1, the mean age was 59.87± 19.40, the common age group was 60 - 80 years old. The most common use of sedation was the agitation relating to respiratory diseases (66.7%). The mean RASS at the beginning was -2.58 ± 2.39 and in third and fourth day was -1.29 ± 2.71 and -1.5 ± 2.2, respectively, which was statistically significance (p < 0.05). the RASS scored by doctors and nurses (-2.69±2.24 compared to -2.7±2.05), had no difference (p=0.949). Conclusion: RASS score can be widely applied to many patient groups and is easily applied to nurses.
