Abstrakt: Pediatric orthopaedic patients require special consideration for their transportation needs. A hospital-based program to fulfill these needs promotes patient safety and allows accessibility of needed devices to elective and nonelective patients. Nurses can be an integral part of this process. This article presents the process of establishing a special needs restraint program including the legalities, acquisition of equipment, and training of appropriate personnel.
