The study aimed to evaluate the use of chemical restraint in managing aggressive inpatients in the psychiatric ward at Services Hospital Lahore, using NICE NG10 and the Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines as benchmarks. Records of all patients admitted between January and June 2022 to the 60-bed ward, which includes male, female, child, geriatric, and addiction units, were reviewed retrospectively (n = 30). The sample size was determined using the Raosoft calculator (95% confidence level, 5% margin of error), and records were anonymized before review. Of the sample, 66.7% were male (n = 20) and 33.3% were female (n = 10); the mean age was 35.4 years (SD ± 11.6), and the mean length of stay was 15.8 ± 16.2 days. The diagnostic distribution was reported as substance-related disorders in 15 patients (50%), schizophrenia or psychosis in 12 (40%), mood disorders in 3 (10%), and dissociative disorder in 3 (10%); the poster noted that these percentages total 110% and require verification against the source data. To manage aggression, 24 patients (80%) received chemical restraint alone, while 6 (20%) received both chemical and physical restraint; no patient (0%) received verbal de-escalation as a first-line intervention. The main reasons reported for the immediate use of chemical restraint were fear of patient violence (40%), rapid access to medication (40%), and inadequate staff training (20%). In conclusion, there is a systemic overreliance on restrictive practices in this setting. The poster recommends mandatory training in verbal and nonverbal de-escalation, protocols aligned with NICE NG10 and the Maudsley guidelines, and regular audits of restrictive interventions with feedback.
