Baby arm fracture sleeping posture

Children with broken arms need to be fixed in time to prevent fracture displacement. Sleep in supine position, arms can be placed next to the body or above the chest position, help reduce arm swelling. When the arms are placed next to the body, you can use pillows to raise the arms. In addition, you can choose to rest on the healthy side. When resting on the side, you can put a pillow between the arms and the body to prevent excessive inversion of the arms. No matter which position rest, try to ensure that the arm is higher than the heart to prevent direct compression of the injured arm. During bed rest, encourage the child to clench his fist and muscle contraction of the upper arm, and closely observe the local swelling and sensory movement of the limbs. If there is no other discomfort for more than one month, the limbs can generally be placed normally.
