Abstract
|
|
|
|
An increasing number of patients are treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to advances in medicine. Usually, healthcare professionals decide on the patient’s care in order to save the patient’s life. Sometimes, these actions conflict with patients’ rights and autonomy. For example, the application of restraint in incompetent patients in the ICU violates patients’ rights to freedom and self-decision. We reviewed the definition, prevalence, patterns, predictors, and guideline of restraints in the ICU setting.
