2. INTRODUCTION ICUs account for more than half of all hospital physical restraint use—and nurses are leading the way in understanding and mitigating its associated risks. Approximately 27,000 people are placed in  physical restraints  each day in hospitals. ICUs are responsible for 56% of all restraint days, despite accounting for only 16% of all patient days. Several  adverse outcomes  are associated with the use of physical restraints in the ICU setting, including: Agitation and delirium Post-traumatic stress Physical injury Death

3. Research has found that  up to 74% of patients are physically restrained at the time of device disruption (PDD). INTRODUCTION
