Agitation is a common component of encounters for AI.

Agitation, particularly when associated with psychomotor activity or violence, puts the patient and staff at significant risk for morbidity, and thus warrants prompt treatment.

For agitated patients who are uncontrollably violent with concern for immediate harm to self or others, or if there is a concern for an immediately life-threatening medical condition whose diagnosis and management is hindered by agitation, dissociative-dose ketamine (4–5 mg/kg i.m. or 1–2 mg/kg i.v.) should be considered.
