Approach to Adult Agitated Case in the Emergency Department: Key Points from a Psychiatric Perspective

Öz

Agitation is a common condition that can be associated with various psychiatric and medical conditions. It can present with a wide range of symptoms, starting from mild restlessness and reaching severe aggression. Early recognition of agitation and intervention in light of ethical rules are important. The intervention process consists of various steps including environmental regulation, security measures, verbal calming and the use of psychopharmacological agents. After excluding general medical conditions that may be responsible for the current condition of the case, the psychiatric picture is managed. Antipsychotic and benzodiazepine group drugs are frequently used in intervention. Haloperidol is the most important agent used in agitation intervention. The most important factors that increase the success of the agitation intervention process are early diagnosis and treatment. In order to achieve this, agitation should be addressed with a multidisciplinary clinical approach and emphasis should be placed on in-service training.
