ClinicalSedation panel NPASS
Definition
The Sedation Scale measures the behaviors and physiologic signs associated with sedation in the neonate. Sedation level is scored from negative two to zero for each behavioral and physiologic criteria, then summed and noted as a negative score. Sedation is mainly assessed during routine care or procedures, as most items assess response to stimulation. Note that a Sedation Scale negative score without administration of opioids/sedatives could indicate prolonged pain or stress response in the premature infant, or neurologic depression, sepsis, or other pathology in the neonate.
