5.7 "H"-shaped restraint application

After completing the restraint fastening procedure, apply

the H-shaped restraint, which stabilises and secures the

patient's head.

1. Place the centre of the strap on the patient's collar (Figure

35).

2. Insert the orange Velcro system inside the small side

hole 10 (Figure 35; for location of hole 10, see Figure 22).

Make the two parts adhere so that they wrap around the

hole in the stretcher. Perform the same operation on the

opposite side (hole number 1).

3. Insert the black Velcro system inside the head end

carrying handle (Figure 36). Position it so that it is

adjacent to the ear hole of the head immobiliser. Make the

two parts adhere so that they wrap around the stretcher

carrying handle. Perform the same operation on the

opposite side.

4. Adjust the strap so that no excessive pressure is created

on the neck.
