“…(5) Physiological indicators are not a reliable measure of pain in the ICUs as they can be affected by medications. (7,15) In addition, behavioral indicators are not always accurate reflections of pain as these indicators are often associated with anxiety, and emotional or physiological distress.…”

“…In addition, those expected to be harmless and routine such as transportation within the hospital and waiting periods for diagnostic imaging or specific treatments such as radiotherapy or minor surgical interventions are also included in this concept. (7) Turning the patient has been reported by patients, to be the most painful procedure. (5,8) Despite the frequency of these procedures, little is known about the level of associated pain, particularly, in critically ill patients.…”

Abstract:Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe: (1) pain indicators used by nurses and physicians to assess pain, (2) pain management interventions (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) used by nurses, and (3) indicators used by nurses to verify pain intervention effectiveness. Methodology:A total of 301 medical records of currently admitted patients from six different ICUs in Jordan were reviewed using a data collection instrument developed by Gélinas et al. (2004) Pain-related indicators were classified into non-observable (patient's self-reports of pain) and observable (physiological and behavioral) categories. Results:Only 105 (35%) of a total 301 reviewed medical records contained pain assessment data. From these medical records, 15 pain episodes were collected altogether. Observable indicators documented 98% of the 115 pain episodes. Patients' selfreports of pain were documented only 1.7% of the time. In 78% and 46% of the 115 pain episodes, pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions for pain management were documented, respectively. Only 37% of the pain episodes were reassessed with self-report (1%) and observable indicators (36%) to determine the effectiveness of the interventions. Conclusion:Pain documentation for assessment, management, and reassessment was lacking and needs improvement.

“…Beside acute pain, venipuncture may also be associated with other complications such as bruising, hematoma, infection; vasovagal reaction and even peripheral nerve damage (6)(7)(8)(9). Consequently, studies have been conducted to develop and employ less-invasive sampling procedures for minimizing such complications (10)(11)(12).…”

Background: Most patients hospitalized at intensive care units have a continuous infusion catheter in place for receiving drugs and solutions; nonetheless, blood sampling in these units is still performed through an invasive and painful venipuncture. However, it is possible to take blood from a peripheral venous catheter to obtain accurate laboratory test results and alleviate the suffering of patients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare hematology, chemistry, and blood gas values sampled from venipuncture and continuous infusion intravenous catheter. Methods: In this cross-sectional comparative study, a convenient sample of 61 adult patients was drawn according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, from the intensive care unit. Two blood samples, one from a continuous infusion catheter, which was already in place and one from venipuncture at the other extremity, were obtained from each patient. The two sets of samples were compared in terms of hematology, biochemistry and blood gas values by using the paired-samples t-test. Results: The two sets of samples differed significantly in terms of blood sugar values. Other differences between the two sets were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Except for blood sugar, blood sampling from a continuous 24-hour infusion catheter produces reliable hematology, biochemistry and blood gas results as that of venipuncture blood sampling method. Moreover, compared with the routine venipuncture method, sampling from a continuous infusion catheter is simpler, easier and safer.
