Clinical Trial Summary

Despite deleterious effects, physical restraints are still commonly used in (expected to become) agitated patients in Dutch ICUs (20-25%). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a person-centered multicomponent intervention (MCI) program consisting of non-pharmacological interventions combined with goal directed light sedation using dexmedetomidine compared to the old standard of care including physical restraints in (expected to become) agitated adult ICU patients.

Description:

Applying physical restraints (PR) has detrimental short- and long-term effects on patients and is increasingly seen as inhumane and outdated. Nonetheless, PR are still used in approximately 20-25% of all patients during their intensive care unit (ICU) stay in the Netherlands. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a person-centered multicomponent intervention (MCI) program consisting of non-pharmacological interventions combined with goal directed light sedation using dexmedetomidine compared to the old standard of care including physical restraints on short- and long-term outcomes and healthcare costs in (expected to become) agitated adult ICU patients.
