The presence of pain appears to be independently associated with worse clinical outcomes, including higher infection rates, patient-ventilator asynchronies, delirium, prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV), length of hospital stay and higher healthcare costs.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria Participants of both sexes, aged 18 or over; Participants who are using invasive mechanical ventilation, Exclusion Criteria: Participants undergoing treatment with neuromuscular blockers,; Participants with any condition associated with altered pain perception (e.g., Guillain-Barré Syndrome, SCI, etc.); Participants with any condition that would likely interfere with behavioral assessments of pain (e.g., decortication or decerebration posture) As the assessments will be carried out before and after the tracheal aspiration procedure, if the patient does not have objective criteria for tracheal aspiration, he/she will be excluded from the study, irrefutably preventing the procedure from being carried out without express need.
