A Simple Pediatric Restraint

This simple method for restraining movement makes procedures with pediatric patients much easier. The method uses a standard readily available bedsheet, is easy to learn, can be modified for use on various body areas, and makes short procedures possible with minimal nursing assistance. Procedures are made more safe by keeping children still without sedatives. Because wrapping in a bedsheet is less threatening to a young child than a standard Velcro® restraint system, the entire procedure proceeds more smoothly than with commercially available restraints. Short procedures that might otherwise need to be referred out can now be performed in the office.
