| Description | Pain is a frequently experienced problem in critically ill patients. Although pain may increase morbidity and mortality and may decrease the health-related quality of life, the pain management in intensive care patients is often inadequate and complicated. On the other hand, there is no doubt that improved pain management is associated with improved outcomes for both intubated and non-intubated ICU patient. Unfortunately, assessing and managing pain in the critical ill patient is still an unfullfilled challenge. |
