The R2D2-ICU study will be a prospective, parallel-group, open label, multicenter (6 centers) randomized controlled trial. All consecutive eligible patients will be included. Patients will be randomly assigned (1/1 ratio) to either systematic PR use (systematic use group) or restrictive PR use (restrictive use group). Patients in the restrictive PR group will be subjected to PR only in case of severe agitation defined by a RASS ≥ +3. Physical restraint will consist of wrist straps. In both groups, patients will receive standardized management for analgesia, sedation, delirium detection, weaning and early mobilization according to current guidelines. Concealment will be obtained using a computer-generated randomization scheme of various-sized blocks stratified by center, age (\< or ≥ 65 years) and coma at the beginning of invasive mechanical ventilation (D0)) through a centralized 24h/24h internet service. Investigation blinded to group assignment is not feasible. In both arms, patients' arousal will be evaluated twice a day until day 14 with the use of RASS. Patients with a RASS of -5 or -4 will be considered comatose (and will not be assessed for delirium). Patients with a RASS score ≥ -3 will be assessed for delirium with the use of the CAM-ICU scale twice a day.
