Patients undergoing sedation in emergency departments (EDs) must be monitored carefully to ensure that, when they are being transferred to different departments, they are safe and that information about them is accurate. However, sedation scoring, for which several tools are available, should not be confused with assessment of consciousness, which is undertaken using the Glasgow Coma Scale. This article considers the validity and reliability of sedation scoring tools, and discusses how ED staff can choose and integrate them into patient care pathways.
在急诊科接受镇静治疗的患者必须进行仔细监测，以确保在转至不同科室时他们的安全，并确保有关他们的信息准确无误。然而，镇静评分（有多种工具可供使用）不应与使用格拉斯哥昏迷量表进行的意识评估相混淆。本文探讨了镇静评分工具的有效性和可靠性，并讨论了急诊科工作人员如何选择这些工具并将其纳入患者护理路径。
