Re: peds transport

[James.J.Misuraca@Hitchcock.ORG (James J. Misuraca)]

In 12 years of pediatric transport I never saw the need to transport a child
with NO restaints. Not once.
The quality of pediatric restraint in the ambulance/ aircraft setting has
improved but is not a solved problem. Car seats are better than they were but I
can not say they are the solution to our problem in this regard. Pediatric
transporters again improve on this situation. Restriants within an isolette are
a joke. We use a device called the "Pedi-mate" that straps to our cots. A sort
of seat belt arrangement for the child greater than ?15kg.
 Never the less I always secured my patients, hysterical at times but always
with thier safty in mind.
