“…The production of akathisia and other extrapyramidal symptoms such as laryngeal dystonia [28,29] is a consideration that weighs against the use of oral or intramuscular haloperidol [30]. However, in our collective experience (i.e., more than 100 patients treated with intravenous haloperidol), there is little evidence that these effects occur with intravenous haloperidol [17,18].…”

Agitation in intensive care unit patients is a problem that is often ignored or undertreated. The presence of agita tion warrants a thorough investigation for underlying causes (e.g., metabolic and systemic abnormalities, drug intoxication or withdrawal, hypoxia, and pain) so that the precipitating disturbances can be identified and cor rected. When these conservative measures fail to con trol a patient's agitation, it may be necessary to resort to mechanical restraint and sedating medication. The au thors present guidelines for the pharmacological man agement of agitation and the risks and benefits associ ated with the use of specific agents.

This study raises concerns about the quality of documentation around drug use and the adequacy of diagnostic evaluation prior to drug prescription. The strategies of drug treatment do not consistently reflect a working knowledge of the pharmacology of the drug or a diagnosis-based plan of treatment. Future research should focus on physician education and the efficacy of diagnosis and management of the agitated elder.

Aggressive behavior is frequently observed in general psychiatry, and pharmacotherapy is often used to manage aggressive behavior both acutely and in patients showing repeated aggression. In this chapter, we systematically review the evidence for the pharmacological management of aggression in acute situations and for maintenance of treatment. Evidence from randomized controlled trials regarding the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy in treatment of aggression in psychiatric patients is weak. Recommendations for the pharmacological management of aggression are made.
