Description
Leona Bannon and co-authors weigh the ethics of restraint in intensive care. The piece appeared in 2026. Holds on the body and on the space round a patient are stock practice in many lands. They guard safety in a hard, fast ward, yet they can cut a patient's self rule.
The authors use a tale built from real life to show both sides of the clash. Views of patients and of staff get a full air. The piece maps the tight walk between self rule, safety, and ward needs. It calls for case-by-case care when such holds are weighed.
