The document for informed consent of methods and complications of physical restraint were also made. Presence of too long physical restraint has been pointed out in using these guidelines and document, and necessity of process for relief of restraint was also indicated for more proper restraint. It became able to plan the standardization of restraint cancellation, but it seems to be difficult to decide restraint cancellation positively for nurse in considering the safety of patients. Further participation of doctors in this field is required.
