* 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?
