Detailed description:
A retrospective chart review will be performed for all patients presenting to the ED with
agitation and subsequently given antipsychotic therapy for treatment. Identification of
patients will be through chart review of patients presenting with agitation. Data to be
recorded include patient age, gender, medical history, time of presentation, time of
treatment, co morbidities, use of restraint, time to disposition and patient outcome.
Inclusion criteria include all patients over age 18 presenting to the ED with agitation and
treated with antipsychotics. No patients will be knowingly excluded from analysis. We will
compare resulting outcomes of patients treated for agitation to see if Adasuve is superior
to other commonly prescribed antipsychotics through its rate of discharge home and overall
time in the emergency department.
