Just had. 20 yo f try and escape. She slipped out of one and restraint and tried to release the other. Had my partner pull over and come back. She got her arm pulled behind her head for a bit. I really wish we had better restraints.

Don't forget triangle bandages make great soft restraints.

Curious how you restrain your patients. Best method for me is with legs crossed and one arm up by their head and the other next to their hip. That way they can never get true leverage.
 
We had our first trauma assessment class. Lets just say it is good we have 3 more months of practicals. :sad:

Restraining cross legged just sounds way too uncomfortable.

Yeah. To bad we can't go back to the days of placing them between two stokes baskets.

Well, I've seen sandwich boarding prohibited, but not casket restraints.

4 soft velcrow restraints. 1 on each ankle that extend their legs flat. 1 on each wrist placed down by the hips. Plus the normal gurney seatbelts.
 
Firefite has it. This lady got her arm above her head for a while until she calmed down, then I put it back at her side.
 
Productive day... Lets see if the next few hours of unconsciousness will be as productive...
 
WTF. HOW CAN YOU COME TO WORK WITH A BROKEN HAND AND NOT TELL ANYONE. NOW I HAVE TO DO ALL THE LIFTING. #%@?!*@%@&!*!:censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:&@-!&!)@*$*@-!*!*@:censored::censored::censored:%!%!$!$!$!$

A bit beyond peeved. It's inconsiderate and immature to do that to your partner. Then we were loading a stretcher into an airplane and her hand FAILED. She dropped her side.
