Physically restraining children for induction of general anesthesia: survey of consultant pediatric anesthetists.
To discover whether any consensus exists among the Association of Paediatric Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (APA) members regarding the use and acceptability (or otherwise) of physical restraint. ⋯ Our results are similar to the US Society of Pediatric Anesthesia members, suggesting this remains an issue internationally. Consideration of practices in other specialties gives some guidance. Our survey shows a range of views as to what physical restraint is or involves, and what constitutes acceptable practice regarding the use or avoidance of physical restraint. We were unable to demonstrate consensus.
