  • Title: Emergency treatment of acute psychosis.
    Author: Hillard JR.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1998; 59 Suppl 1():57-60; discussion 61. PubMed ID: 9448670.
    Abstract:
    The author reviews the evolution of emergency psychiatric practice over the past 20 years--from the concept of high-dose antipsychotic medication to the more rational treatment approach for acute psychosis made possible by modern pharmacodynamic insight and the availability of new pharmacotherapeutic agents. A decision tree for current practice in the rapid tranquilization of agitated, apparently psychotic patients is described.
