What is a papoose board?

Papoos's advice is thus named after papoose, a term derived from the Indian word and given by the colonist Americans to describe the method of carrying and securing children used by native Americans. It was the placement of a child on a flat plate and safely wrapping and/or binding the baby in the skin or blankets so that it can be transported on the back without worrying about the limb or insufficient heat. Today's PAPOose advice is a flat plate with packaging, but its use is mainly in the medical area and not as a backpack. Although it is usually intended for children, it may have a certain application when it needs to provide a patient who cannot keep calm because of movement or inability to listen to orders.

A typical papoose board is slightly similar to the ironing plate size. It can be stuffed on the surface and its sides have different straps, buckles or flaps that can be connected to move. They can be made a certain medical and dental procedure by easier use by using it, asIt prevents body movement and potentially also head. Some dentists recommend using the papose board for younger children's clients, especially for those who require extensive teeth surgery. In other areas of medicine, the Council could be used to stabilize a person for X -ray or to perform procedures such as the opening of the central line.

There is no doubt that the advice of papoose is an effective way to prevent a person from moving, but there is considerable controversy about its use. Restricting someone with straps or flaps to do what can be a frightening procedure is to estimate some people equal to children's abuse. Some people can remember the memories of being limited in this way when children, and as adults still feel violating this act. Given these feelings, parents usually must agree to the use of the Board of Directors of AMNO.

There are alternatives to PapThe oos plate, including another sedation for some procedures. From a purely physical point of view, and especially with regard to children, the limitation of the child on the board is safer than to give them more medicines. However, no medical treatment is purely physical; Any treatment is also emotional, although the child can be too young to remember. Many of them feel that a special sedation and a slightly increased risk of complications is a small price that needs to be paid if it means that you do not have to limit the child.

people can produce peace in children in different creative ways, while many children respond to the paposa album with great disturbance. Paradoxically, some children fall in a quiet state when they are fully limited, especially if they are very little. Other methods that some parents can advocate the place of use, holding a child and talking to them (even dental work), providing a softer restraint cover as in seconds of children and having music or video around that can distractFocusing most toddlers. On the other hand, some parents feel limiting children, it is an essential method for obtaining the necessary medical care and more advantageous than other sedations. Therefore, they promote the use of PAPOOS Council and in most cases they would agree to use it.
