Psychiatric Patients. The Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine(55), 69-75.

The authors present an investigation of incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in restrained
psychiatric patients who were receiving routine prophylaxisand to identify the risk
factors of this condition. This study is very suitable for scholar who wants to strengthen
their research in field of medical treatment related problems, especially in psychiatric
nursing. The journal writers, researchers from The Academy of Psychosomatics Medicine
,conducted this study at Sakuragaoka Memorial Hospital, Japan from December 2008 to
September 2010.Their data covers a wide range of IT Clinical Demographics and
Incidence of DVT. However, the lack of prevalension and frequency data weakens their
conclusion that their findings emphasize the importance of regular screening of and
thorough assessments of DVT, especially in restrained psychiatric patients. (Takuto

In this journal article based on the authors' experiential research, outlines current
clinical practice at the psychiatric intensive care unit of the Medical University of Vienna
(Austria). Taking jobs as an experts in Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, the
authors underlined their work about importance of possessing additional knowledge of
critical care medicine for PICU psychiatrists, because psychiatric disorders can be life-
threatening apart from behavioral disturbances, which are associated with violence
directed against oneself or others. This report is timely, descriptive, and well-emphasized.
So it is worth trying to be taught by modern medical school today and also as a references
for those who interested in psychiatric intensive care. Apart from their too broad title,
lack of background evidence and data interpretating methods, the conclusion is clearly
stated and cover whole the description that specific facilities medication and experience
at the interface between psychiatry and medicine are necessitated.(D. Winkler a, 2011)

Factors associated with the use of physical restraints for agitated patients in psychiatric
emergency rooms. ScienceDirect(30), 263-268.

The authors, researchers ranged from Psychiatrist to Public Health Management, from Brasil,
U.S. and UK use data from three psychiatric emergency rooms in inner-city psychiatrics
emergency hospitals of Rio de Janeiro to investigate the frequency and the factors
associated with the use of physical restraints during admission of agitated patients, giving
psychiatrists and medical students enlighment further about restraining as form of
controversial treatment method for managing behavioural emergency.Although some
people may think of hanging conclusion in this journal. A clear detailed discussion of the
result may encourage other people to focus on deeper research and identification for
practical guidance, refining this practice to ensure the least restrictive and safest option is
always used.(Marcelo N. Migon & Clive E. Adams, 2008)
