Abstract
Pain is a traumatic experience and discomfort for all patients, especially criticallyill patients; if not treated properly, it can have harmful effects. Critical illnessesare usually painful, both because of the underlying source of the disease and thenecessary procedures performed to monitor and care for these patients. Paininduces anxiety, sleep deprivation, disorientation, agitation, delirium, and oftenbecome chronic depression. Psychological factors (sleep deprivation, anxiety, anddelirium) can also increase the perception of pain. Pain assessment is requiredfor proper pain management. Opioids are commonly used in pain management,but acetaminophen, dexmedetomidine, and gabapentin have more advantages.The recent trend is multimodal analgesia, which uses a combination of analgesicdrugs with different mechanisms of action. Another trend is the increasing useof pain relievers, which can control pain and relieve anxiety.
