Establishing a Pre-Infusion CADSS Baseline
A short placeholder sentence on baseline dissociation scoring.
- 0–92: Scale range (Placeholder CADSS total range)
- 23: Items assessed (Placeholder item count)
- 0–2: Typical baseline (Placeholder normal score)
- ~3 min: Assessment time (Placeholder duration)
Why a baseline CADSS matters
Placeholder: baseline score anchors later comparisons during infusion.
Who administers the scale
Placeholder: clinician or nurse rates patient before drug starts.
Onset of Dissociative Symptoms During Infusion
A short placeholder sentence on early dissociation onset.
- 5–15 min: Onset window (Placeholder onset timing)
- Derealization: First symptoms (Placeholder early sign)
- ~10–25: CADSS at onset (Placeholder score range)
- Every 5 min: Check frequency (Placeholder monitoring cadence)
Early perceptual changes
Placeholder: mild unreality and detachment reported by patient.
Vital sign correlation
Placeholder: heart rate and blood pressure tracked alongside CADSS.
Peak Dissociative Symptoms Mid-Infusion
A short placeholder sentence on peak dissociation severity.
- 20–35 min: Peak timing (Placeholder peak window)
- ~40–70: Peak CADSS (Placeholder peak score)
- Depersonalization: Common symptom (Placeholder dominant symptom)
- CADSS >45: Action threshold (Placeholder alert level)
Peak symptom pattern
Placeholder: perceptual distortion and detachment reach maximum intensity.
When to intervene
Placeholder: high scores may prompt infusion rate adjustment.
Post-Infusion Recovery and Symptom Resolution
A short placeholder sentence on post-infusion decline.
- At 40 min: Recovery start (Placeholder infusion end)
- ~15–20 min: Half-resolution (Placeholder decay time)
- Near 0: CADSS by 90 min (Placeholder resolved score)
- CADSS <4: Discharge check (Placeholder discharge criterion)
Symptom decay curve
Placeholder: dissociation fades exponentially after infusion stops.
Discharge readiness
Placeholder: patient cleared once CADSS returns near baseline.
Interpreting CADSS Totals for Monitoring Decisions
A short placeholder sentence on reading CADSS thresholds.
- 0–3: None (Placeholder routine tier)
- 4–19: Mild (Placeholder watch tier)
- 20–44: Moderate (Placeholder notify tier)
- 45+: Severe (Placeholder intervene tier)
Threshold-based action tiers
Placeholder: score bands map to specific monitoring responses.
Documenting outcomes
Placeholder: record peak CADSS and actions taken per session.
