Brice Sedation Scale

The Brice Sedation Scale is a medical tool used by healthcare providers to assess a patient's level of sedation or alertness, especially during procedures or after anesthesia. It ranges from 1 to 5: 1 indicates alertness, 2 is balanced sedation, 3 shows borderline movement, 4 involves purposeful movement in response to stimulation, and 5 indicates unresponsiveness. This scale helps clinicians ensure patients are not too sedated or too alert, promoting safety and appropriate care during medical procedures.
