Palmar skin conductance variability and the relation to stimulation pain and the motor activity assessment scale in intensive care unit patients

摘要

IntroductionMany intensive care unit (ICU) patients describe pain and other adverse feelings that may impact long-term psychological morbidity. Sympathetically mediated palmar skin conductance variability is related to emotionally induced perspiration and correlates with pain levels in the perioperative setting but has not been studied in ICU patients.
