EDGE24: Management of the Severely Agitated Patient
EDGE24 Module 10 : Severe Agitation
The patient with severe agitation can be extremely confronting to the clinician presenting not only major issues with respect to assessment and management but may also represent a risk to the safety of staff and patients. The differential diagnosis is broad and may be as simple as “a bottle of vodka” or as sinister as meningitis and a careful assessment of both their physical and mental health is essential. The immediate priority is to reduce their risk of harm and identify serious medical causes such as head injury, hypoglycaemia, infection, drug intoxication or withdrawal.
In this module we explore the immediate priorities in the severely agitated patient, introduce the "Mental Health Primary Survey" and examine the procedure and pharmacological options for managing severe agitation.
