Pain stimuli are
not standardized. Nailbed pressure can be used as a peripheral pain
stimulus. Pinching the top of the trapezius works well as a more central
pain stimulus with supraorbital pressure and sternal rub as alternatives.

If patient is
assessed while intubated count the points and add "T"
