The pharmacological management of acute behavioural disturbance in pregnancy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2023
Summary
Acute behavioural disturbance is relatively common during the perinatal period. The management of agitation in pregnant women is similar to that in the general population, although with some additional considerations, such as modifications to restraint techniques, careful medication selection, monitoring of maternal and fetal well-being and the importance of a debrief. There are benefits of agreeing a pre-determined care plan for women who are at risk.
