Intended to prevent self-extubation of nasal or oral tubes of an awake patient who may reflexively attempt removal of such and allow the early mobilization and exercise necessary for preservation of as much muscle strength as possible, promotion of diaphragmatic motion necessary for liberation from a ventilator, reduction of patient stress allowing for sedation minimization and improved cognition for reduction of delirium and post-intensive care syndrome, and relief of medical staff and healthcare dollars to focus more on healthcare rather than on protection from self-harm.

Support arrangement for supporting the arm of a patient in a bent position of the upper arm relative to the lower arm. The support arrangement includes a holding bag, which on an upper side is attachable in a hanging manner to a support. The holding bag forms a bottom side configured for the upper arm and forms a first side configured for the underside of the bent lower arm. The holding bag is made exclusively of textile-like material and consists of a flat cut, folded and sewn up on the upper and lower sides. A second side of the holding bag facing the upper arm is formed so as to be closeable, and at least one cord for closing the second side and at least one fastening cord for fastening the holding sack at its upper side are provided. The holding bag may be formed tapered at its width at least on the upper side. The holding bag may be formed open in the tapered region both on the side facing the upper arm and on the side turned away from the upper arm. At least one pair of cords may be provided, each pair consisting of one cord attached to each position of the holding bag. The pair of fastening cords may consist of a shorter and a longer fastening cord. A seam may be provided on the upper side and the pair of fastening cords may be formed of a one-piece cord led through on the underside of the seam. The holding bag is dimensioned in such a manner that a freedom of movement is ensured for the lower arm located within it. The holding bag may be formed double-layered over the entire side facing the upper arm. The holding bag may be formed double-layered in the open side-region of the side facing the lower arm. The tapered region may have a length that corresponds approximately to a third of the overall length of the holding bag.
摘要:
A pediatric arm restraint is disclosed for restricting movement of an infant's arm at the elbow. The restraint includes an inner foam pad and an outer stiff rigidifying plastic sheet, the foam pad preferably being the larger of these two components to extend beyond the edges of the plastic sheet for comfort to the infant. Both the pad and the sheet taper from a major edge to a minor edge to facilitate forming the restraint into a conical shape for use, with the major edge being adapted for placement in an infant's axilla and the minor edge fitting below the infant's elbow. The restraint is normally flat for ease in shipping and handling, but is easily bent into a generally tubular configuration, preferably a tubular-conical configuration, around an infant's arm and then secured in that position by Velcro strips.
