RE: peds transport

[wcemt@terraworld.net]

I have been watching this discussion for a 
couple of days now and I have been surprised 
at some of the responses I have seen.  I am 
surprised that anyone would let a child's 
actions control the care that they provide.  
As many have pointed out, "he wouldn't stop 
crying" is not going to hold up in court.  
However, I have also been surprised that 
people suggest wrestling a child into a 
restraint system is "good patient care"!  A 
child (or anyone for that matter) should 
always be properly restrained during 
transport, but before we jump to wrestling 
them down lets first consider sedation and / 
or paralytics if need be.
