Tiivistelmä	The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS), developed by Sessler et al. in 2002, is a 10-level ordinal scale for assessing level of consciousness, agitation, and sedation in critically ill patients. It ranges from +4 (combative/violent) through 0 (alert and calm) to -5 (unarousable), enabling precise titration of sedative and analgesic medications in ICU settings.	The Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS), developed by Payen et al. in 2001, is a 12-point tool designed to assess pain in critically ill sedated or paralyzed patients who cannot communicate verbally. It evaluates facial expressions, upper limb movements, and ventilator compliance to quantify pain intensity despite sedation or neuromuscular blockade.
