Disparities and Variables Associated With Physical Restraint for Acute Agitation in a Nonpsychiatric Emergency Department.

Conclusions: Risk factors for physical restraints can be used to identify high-risk patients early, and other treatments along with behavioral and environmental modifications may then be utilized. Further research to develop protocols using nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic measures to minimize use of restraints is required. PMID: 31751503 [PubMed - in process]
