Registry of TrialsClinicalTrials.gov
Year 2023
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.
