Subject: [traumanurses] Need some help with agitated neurotrauma
patients
Greetings, all. As you head off into your weekend, our neurotrauma unit
is
looking for some creative ideas on how to assure safety for agitated
brain
injured patients. They often request an order for a "sitter" or
"behavioral
attendant" to stay with the patient, but staffing and budget constraints
mean that is not always available. Any ideas you have used or policies
for
deciding between drugs, restraints, and attendants would be welcomed.
Thank
you in advance.
