A Prospective Study

There are clinical and medico-legal implications to the forced administration of neuroleptic medication to actively resisting, aggressive psychiatric patients. However, there is little information on how frequently this occurs. This survey of its incidence on an acute admission ward demonstrates that “chemical restraint” as defined, is uncommon, considering the characteristics of this patient population. It is nearly always a response to threatened or actual violence towards others. The survey discovered, unexpectedly, that there were considerable differences in the actual measures used and in drug doses used during the event, between two wards of the same treatment unit. A prospective study might correlate the different patterns with degree of success, as well as address other questions, the resolution of which would lead to better quality of care.

A Prospective Study

The need for psychiatrists to be residential when on call is questionable, To determine whether becoming non-residential resulted in duty doctors being unable to provide the same quality of care in dealing with psychiatric or medical emergencies, a prospective study was carried out logging calls received by the duty doctor before and after transition from a residential to a non-residential on-call system. Outcome showed that requiring doctors to be resident did not seem Justified.
