Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare CPOT and BPS in unconscious critically ill mechanically ventilated patients and to determine the most relevant parameters for evaluation of pain in those patients.Timepoint: At the completion of the study ie.at 6 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
