Ramsey Sedation Scale

The Ramsey Sedation Scale is a tool doctors use to assess how sedated or sleepy a patient is during medical procedures. It ranges from 1 to 6: 1 means the patient is anxious and alert, while 6 indicates the patient is unresponsive to stimulation. This scale helps healthcare providers determine if a patient is sedated enough to stay comfortable without being overly sleepy, ensuring safe and appropriate levels of sedation during treatments or surgeries.
