Summary

Between 40 to 70% of patients with critical illness experience moderate to severe pain. Diagnosing pain and assessing its severity is difficult in non-verbal patients both in an Intensive Care Unit and in Postoperative Unit after a major surgery such as cardiac surgery). In patients who are unable to self-report pain, we use behavioural pain scales, namely BPS - Behavioural Pain Scale.

Aim: The aim of this study was to validate the Polish version of a behavioural pain assessment method - BPS in intubated, sedated patients after cardiac surgery versus self assessment of pain using Numeric rating scale (NRS) in both delirious and non-delirious patients (assessed using Confusion Assessment Method for ICU, CAM-ICU).

Method: A prospective observational cohort study will include 60 patients. The patients will be observed by two trained observers during a nociceptive procedure (position change), both during analgosedation and analgesia. Patients will be observed 5 minutes before, during, and 15 min after the two sets of interventions (six assessments in total). Each BPS assessment will be carried out by two observers blinded to each other. To validate the Polish BPS translation we will use the following methods: calculations of interrater reliability, criterion validity and discriminant validity.
