Name
Comfort behaviour scale
Description
A numerical scale for pain and/or sedation assessment in pediatric ICU patients.
Keywords
Comfort Behavioural scale Comfort B scale pain sedation scale pediatric
Purpose
The Comfort Behavioural scale is a modification of the original Comfort scale (1992), used for pain assesment in children in ICU and, complementarily, for sedation assessment in nonsurgical pediatric ICU patients.
Use
Used for pain and/or sedation assessment in pediatric ICU patients.
Misuse
Not to be used for pain and/or sedation assessment in adult populations.
