Abstract: Objective: To improve the implementation rate of daily awaking by designing daily awaking verification scale. Methods: From October, 2013 to March, 2014, the Daily Awaking (DA) Verification Scale was used in ICU patients with mechanically ventilation and sedation who needed to be waked up. We observed the nurses' executive compliance of management measures, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of sedation, and the total amount of sedative drugs.Results: After the Daily Awaking (DA) Verification Scale was used, the observation indexes, such as the implementation rate of awaking measures, the total amount of sedative drugs, duration of sedation, duration of mechanical ventilation, and ICU stay, were improved significantly (P<0.05). Conclusions: By using the Daily Awaking (DA) Verification Scale, we could improve the implementation rate of awaking therapy, reduce the total amount of sedative drugs, shorten the duration of sedation, duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay, and ensure the patients' medical safety. This method is simple and easy to operate, could be highly accepted by medical staff, and is worthy to be generalized in clinical application.
