Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of physical restraints on neurological outcomes in critically ill patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), as existing research is limited and controversial.
- Conducted at a single center, the retrospective analysis included 101 patients and categorized them based on restraint usage: none, intermittent, or continuous within 24-72 hours of ICU admission.
- Key findings revealed that continuous physical restraint was linked to a higher risk of unfavorable neurological outcomes, with a significant odds ratio of 3.54 when compared to no restraint use.
