Pain During Chest Tube Withdrawal: Evaluation Using Pan Monitor

Pain evaluation remains a clinical problem. Pain Monitor allows pain evaluation using the measurement of skin conductance.

Withdrawal of chest tube can be painful and the purpose of the study was to compare auto-evaluation of pain (visual analogic scale) and the index measured by the Pain Monitor.
