Measuring Sedation in the Intensive Care Unit Using Wireless Accelerometers

June 21, 2022 updated by: University of Minnesota
Maintenance of analgesia during a patient stay in the hospital has been an important area of investigation after demonstrating a direct correlation between level of sedation and mortality in the ICU setting. This study will investigate the use of accelerometers in determining patient sedation level.
