Q

important principles of traction

A

TRACTION
-Temp of extremity (and oral temp)
-Ropes hang freely
-Alignment of extremity
-Circulation checks for 6 Ps
-Trapeze (frequently part of traction)
-Increase fluid intake
-Overhead trapeze (increases independence and muscle strength)
-No weights on bed or floor
