The Effects of a Systematic Pain Assessment Approach on Critically Ill Patients Outcomes in ICU
The Effects of a Systematic Pain Assessment Approach on Critically Ill Patients Outcomes: A Randomized Interventional Clinical Study
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Appropriate pain management depends on the systematic and comprehensive assessment of pain. Inaccurate pain assessment and the resulting inadequate treatment of pain in critically ill adults can have significant physiological and psychological consequences.
The investigators will examine whether a systematic pain assessment approach can improve patients outcomes.
120 ICU patients will be randomized either to control or intervention group. The control group will receive standard care plus pain assessments but nurses and physicians will be blind of these results. The intervention group will receive standard care plus systematic pain assessment and the results will be notified to nurses and physicians.

Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years and older
- All patients with an estimated source of pain or due to immunological process as trauma, surgery, or due to general factors such as endotracheal intubation, interventional catheters
Exclusion Criteria:
- Length of stay in the ICU <24 hours
- The patient receives neuromuscular blockers,
- The patient has a disease or condition, such as Guillain-Barre, peripheral neuropathy, which modifies sensory transmission of painful stimuli

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention group
Intervention:
|
Systematic assessment of pain twice daily with the use of 2 different behavioral pain tools (Behavioral Pain Scale - BPS, and Critical Care Pain Observation Tool - C-POT) for non-communicative patients and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 1-10 for communicative patients.
Pain assessments will be carried out by independent investigators who will notify the results to ICU nurses and physicians and observe and document their reaction
|
Active Comparator: Control Group
Intervention.
Systematic pain assessments.
Assessments of pain will be done by independent assessors but results will not be notified to nurses or physicians
|
Systematic assessment of pain twice daily with the use of 2 different behavioral pain tools (Behavioral Pain Scale - BPS, and Critical Care Pain Observation Tool - C-POT) for non-communicative patients and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 1-10 for communicative patients.
