The Policy & Forms website is the official source of current approved policies, procedures, directives, standards, protocols and guidelines. OBJECTIVES To provide direction on the use of restraint based on the principle of restraint as a last resort and the practice of least restrictive restraint to guide safety-related care decisions. To assist health care professionals in minimizing risk when patients require the use of physical, mechanical, environmental and/or pharmacological restraint to ensure their safety and the safety of the health care team. APPLICABILITY Compliance with this document is required by all Alberta Health Services employees, members of the medical and midwifery staffs, Students, Volunteers, and other persons acting on behalf of Alberta Health Services (including contracted service providers as necessary) working in Critical Care. Note: When working with Pediatric and/or Older Adult patients, refer to the Restraint as a Last Resort Acute Care Inpatient Pediatric Procedure and/or Restraint as a Last Resort Older Adults Procedure, where appropriate. ELEMENTS 1. Points of Emphasis 1.1 Use of restraint increases the need for patient observation. 1.2 In cases of extreme excited delirium, extra caution and increased monitoring is needed as restraint has been associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death and asphyxia. Alberta Health Services (AHS) PAGE: 1 OF 6

2 1.3 The use of restraint has been identified as a risk factor that may precipitate: a) Aspiration; b) skin alterations; c) physical de-conditioning; d) pneumonia; e) increased agitation; and f) delirium. 1.4 Assess for underlying causes for agitated behaviour and provide patient care as appropriate (see Appendix A: Causes of Agitated Behaviour). 1.5 Indication for the use of restraint shall be communicated with the patient/alternate decision-maker during provision of care. 2. Consent 2.1 Restraint may be applied without consent to facilitate emergency health care or to prevent serious bodily harm to the patient or to another person. 2.2 In non-emergency situations, consent is to be obtained prior to restraint use. The methods, risks, and benefits of restraint and non-restraint will be discussed with the patient and/or alternate decision-maker in accordance with the Alberta Health Services Consent to Treatment/Procedure(s) policy suite. 2.3 Refusal of restraint can be made in the absence of risk of serious bodily harm to others or self but it may affect whether/how treatment can proceed. 3. Assessment a) The benefits and risks of restraint removal shall be explained to the patient and/or alternate decision-maker by the most responsible health practitioner (MRHP) and discussion documented on the patient health record prior to removal of the restraint. 3.1 Prior to restraint application the MRHP shall assess if the patient is at risk of harm to self or others. 3.2 The MRHP shall also assess the patient for causes of agitated behaviour as per Appendix A: Causes of Agitated Behaviour. 4. Orders Alberta Health Services (AHS) PAGE: 2 OF 6

3 4.1 A Physician or Nurse Practitioner order is required for use of all non-emergent restraints, shall be reviewed daily by the MRHP and shall include restraint type. 4.2 Temporary physical or mechanical restraint may be applied to facilitate emergency health care or to prevent serious bodily harm to the patient or to another person without a Physician or Nurse Practitioner order. Note: An order shall be received as soon as possible following the emergency application to continue the restraint. 5. Monitoring and Documentation 5.1 Refer to Appendix B: Monitoring and Documentation for specific monitoring and documentation requirements. 6. Training and Education DEFINITIONS 6.1 Staff shall receive information and training on the use and risks of restraint(s). a) Prior to applying a restraint or caring for a patient with a restraint, staff are responsible to be knowledgeable regarding alternatives to restraints, the application and discontinuation of the specific restraint being used, and the care needs of the patient being restrained. b) Whenever possible, practical information shall be made available to patients and/or family/alternate decision-maker on alternatives to restraints, the application and discontinuation of restraints, and on how to care for patients being restrained.

Most responsible health practitioner means the health practitioner who has responsibility and accountability for the specific treatment/procedure(s) provided to a patient and who is authorized by Alberta Health Services to perform the duties required to fulfill the delivery of such a treatment/procedure(s) within the scope of their practice. Order means a direction given by a regulated health care professional to carry out specific activity(-ies) as part of the diagnostic and/or therapeutic care and treatment to the benefit of a patient. An order may be written (including handwritten and or electronic), verbal, by telephone or facsimile.

Least amount of physical force is used to keep patient and/or others safe while preparing alternative action (e.g. mechanical restraint, Code White). Document situation leading up to restraint event, description of the event and outcome. Correct position and function of restraint. Discussion with patient and/or ADM (if applicable) Frequency of Assessment, Monitoring & Documentation Continuous monitoring during event. One entry into patient care record per episode. Every 1 hour & PRN Mechanical All Indication for restraint Patient response to restraint Verify daily order on chart Discussion with patient and/or ADM (if applicable) Every (12 hour) shift & PRN Pharmacological 2- point limb 4- point limb Torso Pharmaceutical products are used to control behaviours, actions, and/or restrict freedom of movement, but which are not required to treat an identified medical or psychiatric condition.
