Critically Ill Clinical Trial
— ARBORéaOfficial title:
Impact of a Decision-making Tool to Guide the Use of Physical Restraints in Intensive Care Unit Patients. A Multicentre Randomized Stepped-wedge Trial.
The use of physical restraints is common practice in Intensive Care Units (ICU). This medically prescribed procedure requires full attention of medical and paramedical teams for its implementation, monitoring and ending, as a major restriction of patients' individual freedom. French highest authority for health has defined, for geriatrics and psychiatric units, ten criteria of good practice for physical restraints' use. Routine practice reports critically ill patients' safety as main reason of use. This decision, often left to the sole discretion of nurses, varies according to their own representation of this risk, and depends on several factors: seniority in ICU, nurse to patient ratio and personal workload. In order to reduce practices subjectivity and heterogeneity, we have developed a decision-making tool for physical restraints implementation. This tool is based on objective scales used on a daily basis concerning neurological status (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) and Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU)). Disorientation or delirium can lead to severe incidents by promoting accidental removing of important devices such as arterial of venous line, drains among others. However, physical restraints are recognized as a major cause of delirium and agitation. Critically ill patients require rigorous evaluation of organ dysfunctions necessitating adequate invasive equipments, with associated risks of unexpected removal or alteration. Such events could urge caregivers to use physical restraints. Based on recent literature, about a third of ICU patients are restrained, and accidental deconditioning is mainly observed within these particular patients. In addition, three categories of patients have been defined according to the invasive nature of their equipment and therefore according to the risk associated with an unexpected withdrawal. Finally, presence of patient's family and their adherence to its surveillance were also implemented into the tool. Main study objective is to jointly investigate effectiveness and tolerance of a decision-making tool guiding physical restraints use in ICU patients.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - Patient, male or female, over 18 years of age, hospitalized in ICU for at least 48 hours. - Consent to participate in the patient's study or authorization to carry out the research collected from the designated trustworthy person (failing this, a family member, or failing this, a close and stable relation with the person concerned) according to the modalities described in Title II of the book of the First Public Health Code. If no relative is present, the patient may be included on the advice of the investigator (article L. 1111-6). A consent form for continuation of the study and use of the data will then be signed by the patient if and when the patient is again conscious and lucid, or if the patient is unable to express consent, authorization to continue the research will be obtained from the designated trusted person. - Patient covered by a social security system. Exclusion Criteria: - Predictable and uninterrupted maintenance of deep sedation throughout the duration of the stay, due to the seriousness of the lesions, from the moment the patient is admitted to the intensive care unit. - Lack of predictable remission of a severe coma present on admission to intensive care. - Refusal to participate by the patient, or by the trusted person contacted by default. - Patient with DNR (do not resuscitate) orders. - Patient under legal protection. - Patient already included in the protocol during another stay in resuscitation |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Rate of physical restraints use (effectiveness) | Effectiveness is defined as the rate of observations with the use of restraints; statistical unit will be observations per patient (measured at least every 8 hours) over the entire duration of the ICU stay. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Primary | Rate of incidents (tolerance) | Tolerance is defined as the rate of incidents attributable to non-compliance, corresponding to the deterioration or self-ablation of C2 conditioning, a fall, or self- or hetero-aggressive behaviour. Incidents are determined as soon as an incident occurs, measured every day during ICU stay. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Secondary | Rate of incidents attributable to physical restraints use | Deterioration or removal of C2 conditioning, falls, self- or hetero-aggression. As soon as an incident occurs, measured every day during ICU stay. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Secondary | Rate of incidents without physical restraints use | Non-restraint incident rates for all levels of conditioning. As soon as an incident occurs, measured every day during ICU stay. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Secondary | Characteristics of physical restraints | Typology (upper limbs, lower limbs or abdominal) of the physical restraints performed, in controlled and innovative situations. At least once every 8 hours, during ICU stay, an average of 15 days. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Secondary | Indications of physical restraints | Described indications of the physical restraints performed, in controlled and innovative situations. At least once every 8 hours, during ICU stay, an average of 15 days. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Secondary | Rate of medically prescribed physical restraints | Number of restraints prescribed in relation to the number of total restraints. At least once every 8 hours, during ICU stay, an average of 15 days. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Secondary | Characteristics of recorded incidents | Description of incidents recorded, in controlled and innovative situations. The main types of incidents that can occur are deconditioning, falls, self or hetero aggression. As soon as an incident occurs, measured every day during ICU stay, an average of 15 days. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Secondary | Rate of recorded incidents | Rate of incidents recorded, in controlled and innovative situations. The main types of incidents that can occur are deconditioning, falls, self- or hetero-aggressivity, among others. As soon as an incident occurs, measured every day during ICU stay, an average of 15 days. | Day 0 up to the end of ICU stay, an average of 15 days | |
Secondary | Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) | Medical outcomes study (SF-36) is a survey that include 36 questions to evaluate patients' quality of life. The result of the questionnaire varies from 0 to 100. A low score reflects a perception of poor health, loss of function, presence of pain. A high score reflects a perception of good health, absence of functional deficit and pain. | Three months after ICU discharge | |
Secondary | Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) | Impact of Event Scale - Revised, is a survey to assess the presence of post-traumatic stress symptoms. It includes 22 items. The total IES-R score is calculated by adding the values obtained for the 22 items (scores 0-88). A score above 22 indicates the presence of acute stress, if the score is above 36 it indicates the presence of post traumatic stress. | Three months after ICU discharge |
