Soothing in units for difficult patients and in psychiatric intensive care units

Rev Infirm. 2023 Jun-Jul;72(292):32-33. doi: 10.1016/j.revinf.2023.05.008. Epub 2023 Jun 12.

ABSTRACT

In the units for difficult patients (UMD) and the intensive psychiatric care units (Usip), patients whose mental pathologies have or could generate violent acts which can go as far as committing homicide are taken care of. If, during the psychiatric care of these patients, isolation and restraint measures can be put in place as a last resort, in general it is the symptomatological and behavioral appeasement of these persons that is sought in an alternative way.
