This is a very educational and motivating conference! The Best of the Best arrive and network here! It is well-run and offers a great place to plug into for future connectivity and resources. Worth it! #Refraint not restraint https://t.co/PhtWokrZ4F

We are running low on sedation and starting to use benzos out of necessity-bad stuff. Trying to fast track Exersides to get to global market to help reduce sedation and increase thoracic exercise in patient bed with no staff. Will update you as we go. #Refraint not restraint!

Large amounts of resources directed to ICU (rightly so). COVID patients are already developing significant ICUAW, we are going to have a population of survivors with significant acquired morbidity. We must ensure that we don't forget long term recovery @TheACPRC @PaulTwose

Ready! The FREEDOM trial team at Vermont, Hopkins and UCSD are enrolling patients to measure delirium in a novel restraint alternative compared with usual restraints. #Refraint not restraint

Looks like our ED colleagues have similar restraint problems: ‘Emotional responses to the restraint experience included confusion, frustration, worry, and a sense of isolation.’ https://t.co/4SZtvGFiSL "Refraint not restraint! https://t.co/du0QpFHjgB

Kudos to the NIH/NIA FREEDOM multi-site RCT team headed by @DrDaleNeedham , @StapletonRenee , @BirenKamdar and @PaviniMD for trialing a novel restraint alternative in older patients called Exersides, now in Phase II. #Refraint not restraint! https://t.co/du0QpFHjgB for more.

I am old (73) and if I become delirious in hospital it is 80% likely that is caused by a doctor or a nurse. Health professionals need education and stop thinking physical restraints are the treatment for delirium

[RestraintsICU @restraintsICU]

Thank you Sharon. My (@PaviniMD) story is of PICS-F when my brother was rendered immobile and sedated thereby affecting cognition while trying to recover from a stroke. My father and I still have deficits from trying to fight the invisible archaic barbaric status quo. #Refraint

[Sharon Inouye, MD @sharon_inouye]

Ten years in the making; story of my father's delirium. Hoping that his legacy will be changes in healthcare system to prevent #delirium

Nice poll! Next would like to know about chemical restraint use and staff/patient ratio! #delirium #Refraint not restraint #ICURehab #iculiberation #earlymobility

Tweeps, here's a few questions I want to ask...

In preparation for session 18 of #ICSSOA

Q1. Do your ICU regularly use physical restraints?

[RestraintsICU @restraintsICU]

@SarahKSilverman Hi Sarah-I'm an ICU doc developing a physical restraint alternative for patients so they don't have to be tied to the bed. It's inhumane. I recall in one of your performances you mentioned your hospital experience. Would you mind emailing a bit more about this?

[RestraintsICU @restraintsICU]

AMEN! Follow along with @ExersidesICU for more tweets! Exersides can quickly be converted from a 'refraint' into a restraint when needed so safe and versatile.

#Exersides #refraint

[RestraintsICU @restraintsICU]

The patient added to her scariest first memory that when they took the blankets away, she still couldn't move and realized it was because she was tied to the bed! Let's rethink restraints in the context of delirium.

[Kyle Ridgeway @Dr_Ridge_DPT]

“I couldn’t understand how blankets could be so heavy. I honestly thought they were hundreds of pounds That was my first memory.”
