AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to validate the Chinese version of the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) for assessing pain in both nonintubated and intubated ICU patients.
- The research involved two observational studies measuring internal consistency, validity, and inter-rater reliability, using a sample of both nonintubated and intubated patients.
- Results showed high reliability and validity of the Chinese CPOT, confirming its usefulness as a pain assessment tool for critically ill adults in the ICU.
Article Abstract
Aims And Objectives: To validate the Chinese version of the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) in nonintubated and intubated ICU patients.
Background: While CPOT was found to have the best psychometric properties among objective pain assessment scales, there is no Chinese version CPOT for nonintubated patients.
Design: Cross-sectional design was used in these two observational studies.
Methods: Seventy-six nonintubated patients and 53 intubated patients were assessed to examine internal consistency, criterion-related and discriminative validity of CPOT in the first study. Pain assessment during low pain condition as well as increased pain condition was performed by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Chinese version COPT. Forty nonintubated patients and 43 intubated patients were assessed to examine inter-rater reliability in the second study. A bedside nurse and a researcher independently executed paired pain assessments with CPOT in the same conditions. The STROBE Statement was followed to guide these studies.
Results: The Cronbach's α in nonintubated patients and intubated patients was 0.903-0.930 and 0.868-0.870. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) in nonintubated patients ranged from 0.959-0.982, and the ICC in intubated patients ranged from 0.947-0.959, confirming the inter-rater reliability. The moderately positive Pearson's correlations between CPOT and NRS scores (r = 0.757-0.838 in nonintubated patients, r = 0.574-0.705 in intubated patients) indicated the criterion-related validity. A significant increase in CPOT scores in the increased pain condition compared with those acquired in the low pain condition verified the discriminative validity.
Conclusions: The Chinese version of CPOT was presented to be valid and reliable for both nonintubated and intubated critically ill adults, which could be applicable for pain assessment in patients in ICU.
Relevance To Clinical Practice: This study provides an applicable pain assessment tool for both nonintubated patients and intubated patients in ICU.

Background: Awake prone positioning (APP) can reportedly reduce the need for intubation and help improve prognosis of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) infected with COVID-19. However, its physiological mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effect of APP on lung ventilation in patients with moderate-to-severe AHRF to better understand the effects on ventilation distribution and to prevent intubation in non-intubated patients.

Purpose: Severe thorax trauma including multiple rib fractures and flail chest deformity are leading causes of death in trauma patients. Increasing evidence supports the use of surgical stabilisation of rib fractures (SSRF) in these patients. However, there is currently a paucity of evidence for its use in non-ventilator-dependent patients.

Objective: This study investigated if the serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) within a multimodal analgesia scheme would reduce acute post-operative pain and intravenous opioid consumption in patients admitted to the intensive care unit after isolated minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the University Hospital of Siena (Italy).

Purpose Of Review: The increasing use of prone position, in intubated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome as well as in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure receiving noninvasive respiratory support, mandates a better definition and monitoring of the response to the manoeuvre. This review will first discuss the definition of the response to prone positioning, which is still largely based on its effect on oxygenation. We will then address monitoring respiratory and hemodynamic responses to prone positioning in intubated patients.

Objective: To describe the use of and outcomes from awake prone positioning (APP) in nonintubated patients with COVID-19 in Australian intensive care units (ICUs) in comparison to those who did not receive APP, and to explore the temporal relationship between publication of APP research and changes in clinical practice.
Design: Multicentre, observational cohort study.
Setting: Seventy-eight Australian ICUs participating in SPRINT-SARI Australia.
