A review of the scientific literature related to the adverse impact of physical restraint: gaining a clearer understanding of the physiological factors involved in cases of restraint-related death

Abstract: Deaths occurring during and/or in close proximity to physical restraint have been attributed to positional asphyxia, a conclusion primarily based on opinion and reviews of case studies. This review sought to identify the current scientific evidence available in regard to the aetiology of adverse events or death occurring during or in close proximity to physical restraint. A systematic search of electronic databases (SPORTDiscus, AMED, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO) for papers published in English, between 1980 and… Show more

“…A review of the literature on the adverse impact of physical restraint by Barnett et al . () also identified positional asphyxia as problematic and in particular the ‘forceful prone’ position. This was reported to be hazardous because breathing can be reduced by 15% in a face down position.…”

“…Barnett et al . (), in a literature review, pointed out the mortality related to PR use. Furthermore, restrained residents, when compared with the non‐restrained, had poorer muscle strength in their legs, significantly lower Barthel Index, lower MMSE scores and took longer time for the Get‐Up & Go Test (Engberg et al .…”

“…Leur utilisation est associée à une durée d'hospitalisation ainsi qu'à un taux de mortalité supérieur par rapport aux patients non « contentionnés » (Evans et al, 2003;Mohr et al, 2003;Zun, 2003). Les complications physiques incluent les blessures orthopédiques, les infections, la rhabdomyolyse, la thrombose, l'asphyxie et la mort (Mohr et al, 2003;Barnett, Stirling & Pandyan, 2012;Levinson, 2006). Strout (2010) a réalisé une recension des recherches qualitatives centrées sur l'expérience du patient « contentionné ».…”
