Semi-automated tracking of pain in critical care patients using artificial intelligence: a retrospective observational study

Abstract Monitoring the pain intensity in critically ill patients is crucial because intense pain can cause adverse events, including poor survival rates; however, continuous pain evaluation is difficult. Vital signs have traditionally been considered ineffective in pain assessment; nevertheless, th...
