A simple pediatric restraint
1Department of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles, USA.
Abstract:
This simple method for restraining movement makes procedures with pediatric patients much easier. The method uses a standard readily available bed sheet, 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 bed sheet 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.

Consider two children sitting on a seesaw, which has negligible mass. The first child has a mass (m1) of 26 kg and sits at point A, which is 1.6 meters (r1) from the pivot point B; the second child has a mass (m2) of 32 kg and sits at point C. How far from the pivot point B should the second child sit (r2) to balance the seesaw?

The period of a simple pendulum depends on two factors: its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The period is completely independent of any other factors, such as mass or maximum displacement. For small displacements, a pendulum is...
