Problemas de seguridad relacionados con la aplicación de dispositivos de restricción física en personas mayores
چکیده انگلیسی
The use of physical restraint devices on frail elderly could have significant negative consequences on their health. Apart from complications due to prolonged immobility, the use of this procedure is associated with other serious adverse effects which occur when a person is restricted in a position which carries a risk of asphyxiation. The devices most implicated in these incidents are bedrails, vests and restraining belts. Physical restraint could also be associated as much with the sudden death of patients, due to the stress that it causes, as with injuries from falling. This article presents the recommendations which experts, manufacturers and institutions dealing with the quality of health care have issued for the safest use of this procedure. It stresses the need for better training of professionals, as well as the importance of investigating the factors which can lead to accidents with the aim of preventing them.
