Overview
Brief Summary
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).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Difference in pain scores or pupillary diameter measures at rest and during care procedures
Time Frame: Through study completion (30 months)
Discriminant validity between NCS-I, BPS and pupillary measurements will follow current recommended method for psychometric assessment of pain tools in critical care patients (Pain Agitation and Delirium Guidelines from the Society of Critical Care Medicine, Barr et al. Crit Care Med 2013). Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test will be used to compare values obtained at rest and during the procedures of care.
Secondary Outcomes
- Weight kappa coefficient for pain using the NCS-I(Through study completion (30 months))
- Weight kappa coefficient for pain using the BPS(Through study completion (30 months))
