Validation of the patient State Index for monitoring sedation state in critically ill patients: a prospective observational study

ConclusionsThe PSI correlated positively with RASS scores, which represented a widely used tool for assessing sedation levels, and the values were significantly different among RASS scores. Additionally, the PSI had a high sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing light from deep sedation. The PSI could be useful for assessing sedation levels in ICU patients.University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN000035199, December 10, 2018).
