JAMA study: Low-use physical restraints in ICU patients on mechanical ventilation didn't improve coma/delirium-free days. Population: 245 males, 151 females, median age 65. Intervention: 405 patients randomized, 196 low-use, 200 high-use strategy. Findings: Low-use 6.67 days, High-use 6.30 days.

A restrictive (lower use) wrist-strap restraint approach did not improve #delirium-free or #coma-free days compared to liberal use in mechanically #ventilated #ICU patients.
