The photos are amazing!! I worked for a private psych hospital (I was the Social Worker for the acute unit) and we used restraint boards. The board was carried over to where ever the patient was and the patient was put in 5 point restraints attached to the board. The patient would then be carried on the board over to the seclusion room where the board was attached to a bed frame. The bed frame was attached to the floor. Patients are always restrainted laying face down and on q5 min checks. Usually medication was used to calm the patient and they never spent more than an hour in the seclusion room.
