Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nociception in intensive care unit is frequently evaluated with some tools such as BPS (Behavioral Pain scale) and NCS (Nociception coma scale). These scales were not validated in intubated and brain injured ICU patients. The investigators propose to validate the NCS adapted for intubated patients (NCS-I) in comparison with the recommended scale (BPS) and the Pupillary response (videopupillometry) to noxious stimulation (common procedure of care).

NCS-I (Nociception Coma Scale adapted intubated patients)

Every included patient will be assessed by the 3 methods 3 times (before, during, after the procedure fo care) in 3 conditions. There will be 2 painful conditions usually performed in ICU (Nursing and bronchoaspiration) and a painless condition (RASS assessment).

Intervention Type OTHER
