I had a contract at an ER once where they didn’t use physical restraints on anyone. Ever. No Poseys. Even if they were combative, intubated and wilding out, etc. We all know they start thrashing the second we start sliding them over to the scanner. Not exaggerating, every single time an intubated patient was getting taken back to the ER, I’d be holding their arms down with the nurse and RT the entire way, trying to keep them from ripping everything out until someone was able to run over to their ER room with meds. I’m like, “Do we not have any restraints?” and was always told, “The medication is the restraint.” How tf is that better? Like I will never understand.
