          Abstract

          Objective

          This study assessed pain and observed physiological parameters in sedated and mechanically ventilated children during a routine procedure.

          Methods

          This observational study was performed in a pediatric intensive care unit. Thirty-five children between 1 month and 12 years of age were assessed before, during, and five minutes after an arterial blood collection for gas analysis (painful procedure). Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability scale was used to assess pain. In addition, patients' heart rate, respiratory rate, peripheral saturation of oxygen and blood pressure (diastolic and systolic) were recorded. COMFORT-B scale was applied before the pain and physiological parameter assessments to verify sedation level of the subjects.

          Results

          There was an increase in Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability score (p = 0.0001) during painful stimuli. There was an increase in heart rate (p = 0.03), respiratory rate (p = 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.006) due to pain caused by the routine procedure.

          Conclusions

          This study suggests that assessments of pain using standard scales, such as Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability score, and other physiological parameters should be consistently executed to optimize pain management in pediatric intensive care units.

          Objetivo

          Avaliar a dor e observar parâmetros fisiológicos em crianças sedadas e submetidas à ventilação mecânica durante um procedimento de rotina.

          Métodos

          Estudo observacional realizado em uma unidade de terapia intensiva pediátrica. Foram avaliadas 35 crianças, com idades entre 1 mês e 12 anos, em três momentos distintos: antes, durante e 5 minutos após coleta de sangue arterial para análise gasométrica (procedimento doloroso). Utilizou-se a Escala Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability para avaliação da dor e foram registradas a frequência cardíaca, frequência respiratória, saturação periférica de oxigênio e pressão arterial (sistólica e diastólica). O nível de sedação dos participantes foi verificado utilizando-se a escala Comfort-B, aplicada antes da mensuração da dor e da avaliação dos parâmetros fisiológicos.

          Resultados

          Durante os estímulos dolorosos, ocorreu aumento do escore da Escala Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability (p = 0,0001). Houve também aumento da frequência cardíaca (p = 0,03), da frequência respiratória (p = 0,001) e da pressão arterial diastólica (p = 0,006) em razão da dor causada pelo procedimento de rotina.

          Conclusões

          Avaliação da dor com uso de escalas padrão, como a Escala Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability, e observação de parâmetros fisiológicos, deve ser realizada rotineiramente para melhorar o manejo da dor nas unidades de terapia intensiva pediátricas.

          Epidemiology and management of painful procedures in children in Canadian hospitals.

          Children being cared for in hospital undergo multiple painful procedures daily. However, little is known about the frequency of these procedures and associated interventions to manage the pain. We undertook this study to determine, for children in Canadian hospitals, the frequency of painful procedures, the types of pain management interventions associated with painful procedures and the influence of the type of hospital unit on procedural pain management. We reviewed medical charts for infants and children up to 18 years of age who had been admitted to 32 inpatient units at eight Canadian pediatric hospitals between October 2007 and April 2008. We recorded all of the painful procedures performed and the pain management interventions that had been implemented in the 24-hour period preceding data collection. We performed descriptive and comparative (analysis of variance, χ(2)) analyses. Of the 3822 children included in the study, 2987 (78.2%) had undergone at least one painful procedure in the 24-hour period preceding data collection, for a total of 18 929 painful procedures (mean 6.3 per child who had any painful procedure). For 2334 (78.1%) of the 2987 children who had a painful procedure, a pain management intervention in the previous 24 hours was documented in the chart: 1980 (84.8%) had a pharmacologic intervention, 609 (26.1%) a physical intervention, 584 (25.0%) a psychologic intervention and 753 (32.3%) a combination of interventions. However, for only 844 (28.3%) of the 2987 children was one or more pain management interventions administered and documented specifically for a painful procedure. Pediatric intensive care units reported the highest proportion of painful procedures and analgesics administered. For less than one-third of painful procedures was there documentation of one or more specific pain management interventions. Strategies for implementing changes in pain management must be tailored to the type of hospital unit.

            Reliability and validity of the face, legs, activity, cry, consolability behavioral tool in assessing acute pain in critically ill patients.

            Few investigators have evaluated pain assessment tools in the critical care setting. To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) Behavioral Scale in assessing pain in critically ill adults and children unable to self-report pain. Three nurses simultaneously, but independently, observed and scored pain behaviors twice in 29 critically ill adults and 8 children: before administration of an analgesic or during a painful procedure, and 15 to 30 minutes after the administration or procedure. Two nurses used the FLACC scale, the third used either the Checklist of Nonverbal Pain Indicators (for adults) or the COMFORT scale (for children). For 73 observations, FLACC scores correlated highly with the other 2 scores (rho = 0.963 and 0.849, respectively), supporting criterion validity. Significant decreases in FLACC scores after analgesia (or at rest) supported construct validity of the tool (mean, 5.27; SD, 2.3 vs mean, 0.52; SD, 1.1; P < .001). Exact agreement and kappa statistics, as well as intraclass correlation coefficients (0.67-0.95), support excellent interrater reliability of the tool. Internal consistency was excellent; the Cronbach alpha was 0.882 when all items were included. Although similar in content to other behavioral pain scales, the FLACC can be used across populations of patients and settings, and the scores are comparable to those of the commonly used 0-to-10 number rating scale.

              Validation of a behavioral pain scale in critically ill, sedated, and mechanically ventilated patients.

              Assessing pain in critically ill patients, particularly in nonverbal patients, is a great challenge. In this study, we validated a behavioral pain scale (BPS) in critically ill, sedated, and mechanically ventilated patients. The BPS score was the sum of 3 subscales that have a range score of 1-4: facial expression, upper limb movements, and compliance with mechanical ventilation. Two assessors observed and scored pain simultaneously with the BPS at rest and during painful procedures. The psychometric properties of the BPS that were studied were reliability, validity, and responsiveness. We achieved 360 observations in 30 patients. The BPS was internally reliable (Cronbach alpha = 0.72). The intraclass correlation coefficient to evaluate inter-rater reliability was high (0.95). Validity was demonstrated by the change in BPS scores, which were significantly higher during painful procedures, with averages of 3.9 +/- 1.1 at rest and 6.8 +/- 1.9 during procedures (P < 0.001), and by the principal components factor analysis, which revealed a large first-factor accounting for 65% of the variance in pain expression. The BPS exhibited excellent responsiveness, with an effect size ranging from 2.2 to 3.4. This study demonstrated that the BPS can be valid and reliable for measuring pain in noncommunicative intensive care unit patients.
