Immobilisation techniques
Feb 23 2010, 2:13 AM EST
could anyone please tell me about paediatric immobilisation techniques for chest x-rays they have used and what they thought of it? I am doing some research into MRT preference in New Zealand particularly but I would love comments from all.

Depending on the age of the child, I would say the best thing is the Pigg-o-Stat. Parents cringe, kids hate it, but wow, do you ever get a good inspiration when they are crying. It seems mean but sometimes the oldest things are the best.

I agree with the Pigg-o-Stat... it's terrible to watch the kids as they inevitably cry - but it really does produce a great x-ray.
