- Medicine
In this episode of The Saving Lives Podcast, we delve into the compelling findings of a recent review on the adverse effects of physical restraint use in ICUs. We discuss the paradoxical nature of restraints, designed for patient safety but linked to significant complications, including skin injuries, delirium, PTSD, and more. Understanding the limitations of our current system, we explore how this research urges a shift towards more compassionate, patient-centered care and the critical need for alternative practices.
