restraints are used for patients who are restless not co operating for the treatment

2. INTRODUCTION
ICUs account for more than half of all hospital physical restraint use—and
nurses are leading the way in understanding and mitigating its associated
risks.
Approximately 27,000 people are placed in physical restraints each day in
hospitals. ICUs are responsible for 56% of all restraint days, despite
accounting for only 16% of all patient days. Several adverse outcomes are
associated with the use of physical restraints in the ICU setting, including:
Agitation and delirium
Post-traumatic stress
Physical injury
Death

3. Research has found that up to 74%
of patients are physically restrained
at the time of device disruption
(PDD).
INTRODUCTION

5. TRAINING HELPS IN REDUCTION OF RESTRAINT USE?
Restraint reduction starts by learning to
accurately interpret behavior as
communication.
Staff are then empowered to choose an
appropriate, supportive, and safe
intervention.
A consistent, coordinated approach leads to
long-term reduction and prevention of
critical incidents.
