Condition: Sedation and Analgesia · Pain Intensity Assessment · Mechanical Ventilation Complication · Sponsor: Centro Universitário Augusto Motta
Introduction: Pain is a subjective symptom, a physiological response that is difficult to assess, which affects the body physically and/or emotionally. It is a common phenomenon among clinical and surgical patients in Intensive Care Units (ICU). And its effects are the combined results of physiological and behavioral aggressions caused by clinical conditions, immobility and the execution of common procedures in ICU's. The presence of pain appears to be independently associated with worse clinical outcomes, including higher infection rates, patient-ventilator asynchronies, delirium, prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV), length of hospital stay and higher healthcare costs. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of pain and its associated factors in mechanically ventilated surgical patients in ICU's. Methods: This is a cohort, prospective, multicenter study designed to estimate the prevalence of pain, its intensity, its associated factors, correlating them to outcomes such as patient-ventilator asynchrony rate, time to weaning, and 28-day mortality in mechanically ventilated patients. All research participants who meet the inclusion criteria and who are not using neuromuscular blockers, or have any other condition associated with altered pain perception, will be evaluated using the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) and the Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) on the 2nd day of mechanical ventilation and on the first day of awakening, when the RASS scale is between 4 and -2.
