Die Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) soll auch bei tiefer sedierten Patienten eine Bestimmung der Schmerzintensität anhand von Gesichtsausdruck, Bewegung der oberen Extremität und Adaption an das Beatmungsgerät ermöglichen.

Purpose: To validate an adaptation of the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) for its use in non-intubated intensive care unit (ICU) patients unable to self-report their pain because of the occurrence of delirium. The "vocalization" domain was inserted to construct the BPS-non intubated (BPS-NI) scale, ranging from 3 (no pain) to 12 (most pain).

The Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) determines pain level in patients that are critically ill and sedated.

The aim of the present study was comparing the severity of pain measured by two scales: behavioral pain scale (BPS) and critical-care pain observation tool (CPOT) in ICU-admitted patients during routine daily procedures. Materials and Methods: Ninety patients were enrolled in …

Aug 21, 2009 · The BPS adapted to non-mechanically ventilated, non-intubated critically ill patients unable to self-report their pain (BPS-NI) is a valid, reliable and responsive instrument to measure pain in this population. The BPS-NI and the CAM-ICU could be used together to assess the patient’s pain and confusion, respectively.

Based on ROC-analyses, for medium pain levels a cut-off 4 (BPS-NI) or 2 (PAINAD-G) and for severe pain levels cut-off 5 (BPS-NI) and 3 (PAINAD-G) would result in good accordance with self-reported NRS for pain.

Compare the psychometric properties of three pain assessment scales (the BPS/BPS-NI, CPOT and NVPS) in intubated and nonintubated patients unable to self-report pain

Nov 3, 2022 · The BPS-NI shows a good validity in measuring pain intensity in patients on general wards and may possibly be used for patients unable to communicate. Using defined cut-off values for BPS-NI and PAINAD-G, clinically relevant pain intensities in patients can reliably be detected.

Jul 25, 2014 · This study compared psychometric properties (inter-rater agreement primarily; validity, responsiveness and feasibility secondarily) of three pain scales: Behavioural Pain Scale (BPS/BPS-NI, that is BPS for Non-Intubated patients), Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) and Non-verbal Pain Scale (NVPS), the pain tool routinely used in this ...

The Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) was developed by Payen and colleagues19 to assess pain in critically ill sedated and mechanical ventilated patients in a trauma and post-operative care unit.
