...sentiu seu arfar dolorido.
Explanation:
"catch of breath" = arfar, ofegar

Não precisa traduzir o "each", uma vez que uma pessoa arfante está tomando fôlego seguidamente.

...felt each raw catch of breath.
...sentiu cada arfada cortante/penetrante/gélida


Explanation:
Neste contexto, "raw" soa-me a algo "cortante" como o frio (da arfada). Por exemplo, raw wind = vento cortante/penetrante/gélido.

Cf. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/raw
7. chilly, biting, cold, freezing, bitter, wet, chill, harsh, piercing, damp, unpleasant, bleak, parky (Brit. informal) a raw December morning
