Pain Assessment in the Intensive Care Unit

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Pain assessment using self-report scales (Visual Analogue Scale, Numerical Rating Scale), is recommended in the general population, however it is not always possible in patients with altered neurological status such as sedated patients or patients with delirium. Consequently, pain assessment is highly challenging in these ICU patients. This is a prospective observational study assessing 3 behavioral pain scales in the ICU.

The hypothesis of this proposal is that one of the three ICU pain scales has a more important reliability than the others. Such a scale could be recommended to be used to measure pain intensity in ICU patients not able to communicate.

Clinical Trial Description

The aims of this observational study are to measure and compare the psychometric properties of Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS), Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) and Non Verbal Pain Scale (NVPS) at baseline and following repositioning procedure in the ICU ;
