The Pasero Opioid-induced Sedation Scale (POSS) can be used to assess and monitor sedation levels in residents receiving opioid therapy, helping to prevent over-sedation and respiratory depression. The POSS helps healthcare providers balance pain relief with safety, reducing the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression. It should be used alongside other assessments like respiratory rate and pain scores.
