Using a case example, faculty will present novel tools designed specifically for assessment of DoC in the intensive care unit setting, with a focus on the Coma Recovery Scale Revised for Accelerated Standardized Testing (CRSR-FAST). We will review CRSR-FAST administration within an ICU environment, scoring guidelines, approach to application in a medically fragile acute DoC patient, detecting and documenting confounding factors specific to the intensive care unit setting and integration of the CRSR-FAST into medical record systems. We will also compare other measures available for acute assessment of DoC.
