Hallucinations: Can you imagine not knowing the difference between what is real and what is not real? Can you imagine hearing voices telling you to hurt yourself or others? Can you imagine seeing people who are following you, trying to hurt you or your loved ones? The torment of such hallucinations is beyond comprehension. Reflecting on my time in the ER, I recall an encounter with a highly educated professor grappling with psychiatric problems for two decades. Suddenly, his prescribed medications lost their efficacy, plunging him into a nightmarish realm. Voices tormented him, warning of government conspiracies and imminent danger to his daughter. His panic-stricken attempts to protect her landed him in our care, a desperate plea for sanctuary. Consider, for a moment, the tumult of emotions coursing through him—fear, helplessness, a primal need to shield his child from harm. These scenarios are not abstract; they are stark realities demanding our compassion and respect. As an ER RN handling psychiatric patients, especially when they spend days and days in our ER, it can be very challenging, and the charting can get daunting, tedious, and exhausting. But it is extremely important to adhere to the protocols and plan of care. These are some techniques to deescalate psychiatric patients 1️⃣ Maintain a Calm Environment: Speak in a calm and reassuring tone, and try to create a peaceful atmosphere in the room. 2️⃣ Active Listening: Allow the patient to express themselves without interruption. Show empathy and validate their feelings. 3️⃣ Establish Trust: Build rapport with the patient by showing genuine concern for their well-being and respecting their autonomy. 4️⃣ Set Limits: Clearly communicate boundaries and expectations to the patient. Remain firm but compassionate in enforcing these limits. 5️⃣ Use Distraction: Redirect the patient's focus away from their distressing thoughts or hallucinations by engaging them in activities or conversations about neutral topics. 6️⃣ Involve Family and Support Systems: If appropriate, involve the patient's family or support network in the care process to provide additional comfort and assistance. 6️⃣ Medication: If necessary, administer medications prescribed for agitation or psychosis under the guidance of a psychiatrist. What are some techniques that my fellow nurses use to deescalate psychiatric patients? Do you have any cases involving psychiatric care while in the ED?
