Pain affects in both physiologically and psychologically including the patient’s pathology worsening, prolonged duration of using mechanical ventilation and length of hospital stay. Furthermore, it increases anxiety among patients as well as their families, leading to chronic pain and post traumatic stress disorder in long term. Nowadays, pain management in the critically ill patients are not appropriated because pain is difficult to be assessed due to communication barrier and pain management is the second priority to life threatening solving.
