Summary
In critical care patients receive painful interventions.[1]. Their mobility is reduced, and they are connected to various monitors and machines. Analgesia Pain when not treated will consume higher energy and cause immune modulation in the short term and post traumatic stress disorder in the long term.[4,5,6] Accurate assessment of pain will reduce analgesic intake.[7] Pain is a subjective feeling need to be described by the patient; in critical care it is difficult or impossible. Physiological parameters such as heart rate and blood pressures do not correlate well with actual pain perceptions. The challenge is when patients receive neuromuscular paralysis for the management of their condition
