The comparison of pupillometry to standard clinical practice for pain and preemptive analgesia before endotracheal suctioning: A randomized controlled trial.
Intensive Crit Care Nurs
February 2025
Background: Pain during endotracheal aspiration (ETA) is frequent in critically ill patients. Managing pre-emptive analgesia before procedures remains a crucial aspect of care. We compared pupillometry to standard clinical practice for assessing preemptive-analgesia administration and pain before ETA according to Behavioural Pain Scale (BPS), the Behavioural Pain Indicator Scale (ESCID), and the Pupillary Dilation Reflex (PDR).

Aim: To assess the pain in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients with the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS), Behavioral Indicators Pain Scale (ESCID), the pupillary dilation response (PDR), and vital signs.
Design: Cross-sectional study METHODS: The study was conducted between March and December 2019, involving patients with a baseline BPS of 3, ESCID of 0, and RASS between -1 and -4.
Background: More than 70% of patients demonstrate pain after endotracheal aspiration. Tools are needed to objectify the need for analgesia in non-communicative critically ill patients.
Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the lowest intensity electrical stimulus for detecting pain before daily care interventions.
Background: The objective of this study was to assess the value of the pupillary dilation reflex as an assessment pain tool in critically ill patients. It is important to continue working for the well-being and security of critically ill patients.
Methods: We studied the diagnostic accuracy of the pupillary dilation reflex against the Behavioral Pain Scale.
