Background
Pain and discomfort during ICU stay
~50% of patients reported moderate to severe pain
Untreated pain can lead to short and long-term consequences
Insufficient sleep
Developing post-traumatic stress disorder
Acute pain can lead to poor outcomes in critically ill patients

Pain Assessment
Limitations to traditional pain assessment is inability to self-report
Can be due to severity of illness, pharmacotherapy, or inability to speak
Pain assessment tool must take into account the patient’s ability to report pain
If self-report is not possible, valid behavioral pain score should be used
Behavioral Pain Scale

Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT)
Most valid and reliable behavioral pain scale for monitoring pain in medical,
postoperative, or trauma (except brain injury) in adult ICU patients
Originally developed in French
Includes four behavioral categories
Scored from 0 to 8 (no pain to extreme pain)

Methods
Determined by IRB that approval not required
Study period: December 13, 2017 to February 28, 2018
Retrospective chart review of patients that are sedated and scored with the CPOT
Statistics used: Mantel-Haenszel Chi-square statistics using SAS 9.4 software

Results – SAT Outcome
Successful SAT defined as holding sedation or reducing rate of sedation after trial
Total SAT: 161 trials
SAT using CPOT: 103 trials
Successful SAT using CPOT: 70 trials (67.9%)
20 trials (28.6%) had pain medication given
Passed SAT using CPOT: 14 trials (13.6%)
15
Summary
No statistical significance between continuous analgesic drip and CPOT score
during SAT
Statistical association between the CPOT score and whether the pain medication
(fentanyl or morphine) was given
67.9% of SATs that used the CPOT were successful
16
Limitations
Small sample size (total 36 patients)
Not adequately powered
Based on individual SAT as opposed to controlled for each patient
36% of SAT did not meet inclusion due to use of non-verbal pain score
Delay in implementation of CPOT score
Retrospective study
Data is based on what is reported in the electronic medical record
17
Conclusion and Future Plans
Re-education of nursing staff assessing pain using the CPOT due to extended
period of time between training and implementation of CPOT
Opportunity to educate medical staff on ordering PRN medications indicated for
CPOT score while patient is sedated and ventilated undergoing SAT

Self Assessment
Which of the following statements regarding the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool
(CPOT) is correct?
A.The CPOT is not a valid and reliable behavioral pain scale for non-verbal patients in
the ICU
B.There are 5 total sections of the CPOT score with each section scored from 0 to 2
