Isolation and restraint in units for difficult patients and in psychiatric intensive care units

Rev Infirm. 2023 Jun-Jul;72(292):23-25. doi: 10.1016/j.revinf.2023.05.005. Epub 2023 Jun 12.

ABSTRACT

The units for difficult patients (UMD) and the intensive psychiatric care units (Usip) are psychiatric services that are not successively sectorized, created to meet the needs of intensive care in a closed environment and sometimes of a forensic nature. These two systems are used to care for patients whose clinical condition often makes it too complex to maintain them in sector psychiatric units, and many of their operating rules differ. This is not the case for seclusion and restraint measures and the application of the law governing these measures.
