If we know that 20% of hospitalised patients over the age of 70 can develop delirium (6 times more common in patients with dementia) and that it is preventable in 30–40% of cases, preventive measures can be applied to reduce its incidence and, therefore, reduce the prescription of restraints<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a>. Basic measures such as assessing the risk of delirium on admission, pain treatment, infection control, adequate nutrition and hydration (adapted diet, supplements, help with intake if necessary), prevention of constipation, early mobilisation (avoiding unnecessary probes, tubes and IV drips, encouraging the use of the toilet, avoiding nappies in continent patients), favouring nocturnal rest, reviewing and reconciling medication and adapting the environment (reorientation, auditory and visual aids if necessary, family assistance, lighting, calendar, clock, photographs, cognitively stimulating activities) decrease the risk of delirium and the need for restraints<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a>. This preventive strategy has been promoted by the Choosing Wisely initiative<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a>.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The absence of regulatory legislation or evidence-based guidelines for the use of restraints makes the ethical aspects of their use even more important. The current movement to reduce and adapt the use of restraints underlines that care must not only consider health, but also autonomy and individual preferences as an asset to be protected. This entails accepting a certain degree of risk, which must be associated with protocols for falls management, rational use of drugs, etc.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a>.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the hospital setting is outside the scope of the recent instruction of the State Attorney General's Office on the use of mechanical or pharmacological means of restraint<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a>, based on its reading there are areas for improvement that we can probably transfer to our centres: Is physical restraint applied under medical prescription and informed consent obtained from the patient or, where appropriate, the patient's legal representative. Are generic orders used ("mechanical restraint if required") when it should be assessed on an individual basis. Does the centre have a protocol for the use of restraints that includes indications, procedure, observation and monitoring guidelines? Is the measure applied to each patient documented, specifying indication, use, type of restraint, duration and monitoring?</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To conclude, it is preferable to enhance preventive measures aimed at reducing the need for physical restraint. This should be the last resort (after having tried verbal and pharmacological restraint) and should be applied as sparingly as possible and for the time strictly necessary, in a standardised and monitored manner.</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Funding</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">No funding has been received.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Conflict of interests</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The author declares no conflict of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:3 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Funding" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Conflict of interests" ] 2 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "bibliografia" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "References" "seccion" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "bibs0005" "bibliografiaReferencia" => array:4 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "bib0005" "etiqueta" => "1" "referencia" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "contribucion" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Medidas de sujeción en el paciente agitado, ¿seguridad o peligro?"
