The article presents a study on the conventional pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic pain treatment in patients admitted in intensive care units (ICUs). The study examined the effectiveness of opioid analgesics which are cited to have been the mainstay to control pain. It proposed various alternative medications to the opioids for pain control and investigated their effectivity in the critically ill patient. It showed that the effectiveness of nonpharmacologic therapies in ICUs is limited. |
