Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized clinical trial to compare the use of safety net enclosures with standard restraints in agitated hospitalized patients.
Although hospitals attempt to minimize the use of restraints, certain cases require their application. For such patients, there is a need for novel, safe and more humane restraint systems. ⋯ For hospitalized patients requiring restraint, the SOMA Safe Enclosure is effective and more acceptable to relatives, physicians, and secondary nurses than currently used restraints.
