* patient is on continuous IV infusion of narcotics, pain meds or sedation drugs
* What is the definition? we discussed in the office that this probably should not be checked after 1 Valium... email sent to Allan Garland. Ttenbergen 17:46, 2016 September 12 (CDT)
* patient is on paralytics
* This will be highly subjective. Does this mean that we would record the actual GCS in the first 24 hours instead of waiting until the sedation has been discontinued to obtain GCS? Or do we just use this if the patient is on sedation throughout their ICU stay? By sedation, are we talking about antipsychotics, benzodiazipines, and narcotics? Depending on dosage, they all have the potential to affect GCS. [[User:Mlagadi|Mlagadi]] 10:51, 2016 September 15 (CDT)
For other types of sedation at time of GCS assessment, do not check this box.
