(2003, methodology): “These 2 main strengths of the RASS assessment procedure (ie, completelydistinguishingverbal from physical stimulation, and relying heavily on duration of eye contact) complement the recently developed delirium monitoring instrument, the CAMICU.(31,32) Using such a combined neurologic monitoring sche”
