If you want (or are required to) track a level of consciousness measurement in your anesthesia records, we support the following three common options:
Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS)
Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
Ellis Sedation Score (ESS)
It can be tracked as follows:
Go to the Monitor Setup page:
Click Add Items to Track:
Select the score you'd like to use and click Done (they're toward the bottom of the list):
Now, for each checkpoint in the Vitals you'll be asked to enter a score:
Important note:
Because Xchart will not receive this as a value from the monitor, you'll be asked to enter it for each vitals checkpoint or the checkpoint will be considered incomplete.
So, you can no longer have a fully automatic vitals setup if you choose to chart a sedation level since each checkpoint will require manual entry of a sedation level.
