Summary

COVID-19 infection produces thousands of hospital admissions in a very short period of time, including critical care patients. It is expected that those who survive a severe spectrum of the disease, will present some degree of health decline in the medium and long term, becoming chronic patients.

Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) was described by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) as a new altered or worsening of physical, cognitive, or mental condition due to critical illness and persisting after hospitalization, including pain. Also, clinical features of infection include different types of pain, and if this pain persists, it can turn into a chronic condition. Chronic pain is a currently recognized disease, but under-treated in many cases, generating a significant deterioration in the quality of life of this patient. It is vitally important to generate early care circuits to detect and treat those expected complications, such as chronic pain in these patients. The objective of this study is to estimate the level of persistent pain and its impact on health-related quality of life after admission to an intensive care unit in patients who suffered this infection.
