Pain Management in

Critically Ill Patient


Prof. dr. Andi Husni Tanra, PhD, Sp.An-KIC-KMN
• An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience
associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or
described in terms of such damage
• Can happen any where in our body

Pain is..
Pain is not felt by the brain,
but by the person

If the patient complains of pain, then there is pain.


If the patients said no pain, then there is no pain
NO MATTER of your examination result

Sullivan MD et al (2013) What does it mean to call chronic pain a brain disease? J Pain 14:317–322
80% of patients experience
different intensities of pain
during their ICU stay and
identify it as one of the
greatest sources of stress

Biologorum. Vol. 117, No 2, 225–230, 2015
Vazquez M et al

• Analyzed pain intensity during 330 turnings in 96


medical-surgical patients
• Significantly increased pain score between rest and
turning
• Bolus of analgesic was used in less than 15% of the
turnings

Reardon et al

• Stress associated pain also lead to coagulopathies and


reduced activity of the innate and adaptive immune
systems.
• Sustained pain result in hyperalgesia and spinal
sensitization
• a heightened sensitivity to pain by spinal neurons, which can
result in an increased response to minimally noxious stimuli or
the transmission of pain without painful stimuli
• Acute pain may lead to chronic pain

Still going to ignore the pain?

You CAN NOT!


Declaration of
Montreal 2010
Declaration of
Montreal 2010
• Obligation of governments and all health care
institutions to establish laws, policies, and systems
that will help to promote the access of people in pain
to fully adequate pain management. Failure to
establish such laws, policies, and systems is unethical
and a breach of the human rights of people harmed
as a result.
Declaration of
Montreal 2010
• Obligation of all health care professionals in a
treatment relationship with a patient to offer to a
patient in pain the management that would be
offered by a reasonably careful and competent health
care professional in that field of practice. Failure to
offer such management is a breach of the patient's
human rights.
Meaning.. You may face this..
Furthermore..
First Step:
Identification of Presence of Pain
• Most common choice
Challenge!!!

• Critically ill patient with cognitive or communication


problems due to
• Stroke
• Brain injury
• Dementia
• Confusion
• Use of sedatives
• Difficulty in reporting pain
Which one is better?

BPS CPOT
• Assess 3 domains • Assesses 4 domains
• Validated in medical, • Validated in medical and surgical
critically ill adult patients
surgical, and neurological
critically ill adult patients • Pre-eliminary phase on
neurology/neurosurgery patients
• Simpler • More complex
Disadvantages

• Measures the presence of pain but not the pain


intensity
• Cannot distinguish between pain types

(Pain Dilatory Reflex)

Algiscan
PPI
(Pain Pupillary Index)

chronic non-malignant pain

Routes of Administration
Pharmacotherapy
Opioids are the primary medications for managing pain
in critically ill patients because of potency, concomitant
mild sedative and anxiolytic properties, and their ability
to be administered by multiple routes.

Adam VN, Matolic M, Ilic MK, Grizelj-StojcIc E, Smiljanic A, Skok I. Pain management
in critically ill patients. Periodicum Biologorum. 2015;117(2):225-30.
Commonly Used Opioids

Avoid in hemodynamically unstable patients. Active metabolite accumulates in


renal dysfunction. May cause itching, tachycardia and hypotension due to
histamine release.
Fastest onset and shortest duration. Accumulation with hepatic impairment.
Muscle rigidity.

No accumulation in hepatic/renal failure. Use IBW if body weight >130%


IBW. Duration is too short

Therapeutic option in patients tolerant to morphine/ fentanyl. Accumulation


with hepatic/renal impairment 5-10x more potent than morphine.

Elimination may be prolonged in hepatic/renal impairment


Contraindicated in patients on MAOI or epilepsy.

Clinical Advantages

Acetaminophen Reduction of prostaglandin Enteral, i.v., Decreases opioid


synthesis rectal consumption; provides
mild analgesia
Nonsteroidal anti Reduction of prostaglandin Enteral, i.m., i.v. Decrease opioid
inflammatory drugs synthesis consumption; provide
mild analgesia
Local anesthetics Blockade of sodium Regional and Decrease need for opioids
channels local infiltration for regional pain; decrease
opioid consumption

Ketamine Inhibition of NMDA Enteral, i.v. Decreases opioid


receptors tolerance and opioid-
related adverse events
Anticonvulsants Blockade of N-type calcium Enteral May be effective for
and sodium channels neuropathic pain
Remember..
Why reduce Opioid Consumption is
listed everywhere?

NSAIDs also possess their own


risks
In Conclussion..
Vigilance is required
