The Sedation Assessment Scale is rated 1 to 7. Score of 7 is dangerous agitation. Score of 1 is unarousable. Score of 2 is very sedated. The presence of coma is based on the every 4 hour sedation agitation score scale (SAS) assessment. A score of 1 or 2 any time during the day represents that a coma is present. A score of 3-7 represents a subject with no coma present. Results listed here is days without coma (SAS score of 3-7)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: One hour before the daily study drug administration and 2 hours after the daily study drug administration

Patients were evaluated 1 hour before and 2 hours after the administration of each dose of study medication using the Clinical Opioid Withdrawal Scale (COWS). COWS is used to help determine the stage or severity of opiate withdrawal and assess the level of physical dependence on opioids. The COWS score ranges from 0-36+. A score of 0 is no active opioid withdrawal. A score of 5-12 is mild; 13-24 is moderate; 25-36 is moderately severe and more than 36 is severe opioid withdrawal.
