Stimulation and Validation of the Pupillary Dilation for the Detection of Pain in Analgosedated Patients Under Mechanically Ventilation in Intensive Care Unit
Pain
About this trial
This is an interventional other trial for Pain focused on measuring Pupillary dilation, Analgosedated, Mechanically ventilation
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients over 18 years.
- Analgosedated patients under mechanical ventilation.
- Unable to communicate (verbal or motor).
- Patients with initial BPS of 3, and RASS from -1 to -4.
- Familiar prior informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients treated with muscle relaxants.
- Severe Critical Polyneuropathy.
- Pupillary reflex affectation in diabetic patients (diabetic papillopathy,glaucomatous optic neuropathy) or any other pathologies like Adie´s Syndrome, Argyl-Robertson pupil.
- Patients with tansmisible ocular infections.
- Patients with possible injury of the third carnial nerve (Horner´s syndrome) due to injury to the brainstem, cervical cord, cancer of the upper lobe the lung, dissection of the carotid and/or cluster headache.
- Acute cerbrovascular conditions with Glasgow Coma Scale less than 6, or increased intracranial pressure, or pontine base infarction.
- Drugs that interfere with the pupillary reflex (clonidine, dexmedetomidine, metoclopramide, tramadol, droperidol, ketamine, nitrous oxide).
- Patients under metoclopramide, if given 10 minutes prior the measurement of the pupillary reflex (PDR).
- Patients during the first 24 hours after Cardiac Arrest (CRP).
- Severe unestable comorbidity with doses of norepinephrine> 0.6 microg/kg/min and/or dobutamine>10 microg/kg/min or drenalin any doses.
- Patients with untreated pheochromocytomas.

Control group
Every patient will be subjected to a measured stimulus with a power selected in phase 1 (X mA) and pupillary dilatation will be measured by pupillometry. In those patients showing pupillary size variation over the limit for insufficient analgesia estimated in phase 1 for tracheal suction, additional analgesia will be provided before tracheal suction. In those patients without pain detected by pupillometry, additional anlagesia won´t be provided. In both cases Pupillometry, BPS and ESCID will be measured during tracheal suction to determine whether the patient is in pain or not.
Before tracheal suction and due to medical decision, analgesia following current clinical practice would be administered prophylactically. Pupillometry, BPS and ESCID will be measured during tracheal suction to determinate whether the patient is in pain or not.
