SCCM Resource Library-A: Assess, Prevent, and Manage Pain

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video transcript, Michelle Ballas discusses the assessment, prevention, and management of pain in the ICU. She highlights the importance of using evidence-based practice and teaching the latest evidence to ICU providers. The certification in the ABCDE bundle is emphasized, as it is the first of its kind in the world. Michelle discusses the challenges of managing pain in ICU patients, particularly those with chronic pain and hypoactive delirium. She suggests using subjective pain assessments, such as numeric rating scales and behavioral pain scales, as well as involving family members in pain assessment. Non-pharmacologic interventions, such as massage, music, and relaxation techniques, are also recommended for pain management. Michelle addresses common questions and challenges related to pain management, including issues with sedation and the use of opioids, as well as the need for standardized protocols and appropriate assessment tools. Lastly, she discusses the importance of proper documentation and auditing to ensure accurate assessment and management of pain in ICU patients.
