  • 1.  SBS & RASS

    Posted 10-21-2025 08:43 AM

    Looking to see what other sedation scales pediatric ED's are using for post-intubation sedation titration. Our ED uses RASS for moderate and deep sedations. Our PICU uses SBS. Do other pedi ED's ever use a different sedation scale than their PICU? What is everyone using for sedation scales in their Pedi ED?

    Thanks!

    Hello! I work at a health system with 9 EDs (all mixed) and one PICU. We use RASS for both ED and PICU for moderate / deep sedations.
