Pain among non-verbal critically Ill mechanically ventilated patients: Prevalence, correlates and predictors

To investigate pain levels and factors that are predictive of pain for mechanically ventilated patients during rest and during routine nursing procedures. Pain levels were assessed using Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) and physiological measures among 247 mechanically ventilated patients. At rest, 33.2%...

Description
Summary:To investigate pain levels and factors that are predictive of pain for mechanically ventilated patients during rest and during routine nursing procedures. Pain levels were assessed using Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) and physiological measures among 247 mechanically ventilated patients. At rest, 33.2% of patients suffered pain, with a BPS > 3; of these, 10% presented significant pain levels (BPS ≥ 5). Variables that correspondingly predicted resting pain were age (β = −0.010, p
