Management of Paediatric Acute Severe Behavioural Disturbance in the Emergency Department

Acute Severe Behavioural Disturbance (ASBD) is a medical condition where a person loses control of their behaviour and becomes extremely agitated or aggressive. It usually occurs as a result of an underlying medical problem. People who develop ASBD often come to the Emergency Department (ED) to receive care. My PhD will investigate why children develop ASBD and determine the best management for these individuals when they present to the ED.
