A pilot study of high frequency accelerometry-based sedation and agitation monitoring in critically ill patients.

CONCLUSIONS: We describe a novel approach to the analysis of wrist accelerometry data in critically ill patients. This technique not only appears to provide novel and continuous information about the depth of sedation or degree of agitation, it is also notable in its aptitude to anticipate impending transitions to higher RASS values.
