Summary

This pilot study tests a tool called ED-TREAT that helps emergency room staff spot and treat agitation early. The goal is to see if the tool is easy to use and can reduce the need for physical restraints. The study involves 26 adults at Yale New Haven Hospital, but enrollment is currently on hold.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ED-TREAT clinical decision support system
What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help emergency departments manage agitated patients more calmly and reduce the need for physical restraints.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (26 people) testing only feasibility, not effectiveness. The trial is currently suspended, so results may be delayed or inconclusive.
