Abstract
Agitation in pediatric inpatient and emergent settings is common and disruptive. There is limited evidence-based standardization of evaluation and management of youth at risk for aggression. This can result in significant angst from pediatric and mental health providers in the care of this population, leading to high rates of burnout, staff injury, poor outcomes, longer length of stay, and frequent requests from medical providers to have patients transferred from medical to mental health care settings.
