Comments on: To juice or papoose is the question http://www.dentalbuzz.com/2010/07/01/pedopapoose/ trends, innovations, and quirks of dentistry Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:55:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Emily http://www.dentalbuzz.com/2010/07/01/pedopapoose/#comment-63 Emily Mon, 23 May 2011 14:42:19 +0000 http://www.dentalbuzz.com/?p=346#comment-63 My almost-3-year-old son will be getting an injured tooth extracted next week. (By the way, I found this <a href="http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/" rel="nofollow">Mom’s Guide</a> to be a helpful tooth resource for us.) My son is not cooperative AT ALL and we briefly considered the papoose for this procedure. He is extremely fearful of the dentist (nice intro to dental care- having a tooth injury last fall!) and he will not allow the dentist or hygienist to do more than a quick peek in his mouth. I think if he was older and we could explain this to him in a way he could understand we would be more likely to use the papoose. But we're setting his dental foundation here, so this time we're opting for light sedation, done in a board certified pediatric dental office.

This is definitely a very hot topic and the healthcare field really needs to do a better job at finding a national standard procedure on when to use a papoose or any type of physical or chemical restraint. There are so many gaps of information that is not documented on when a physical restraint is used and it saddens me to see that there is even less documented when it comes to the care of children. I sure hope those people in pediatric medicine keep their promise of 'doing no harm' to ALL of their patients. And remember doing no harm involves no harm both physically and mentally.

However, it would seem to me that in many cases, the papoose board would be a preferable thing to general anesthesia for a child who may or may not come back up. In any case, I think that it's a choice that needs to be made on a case by case basis, with sedation and local anesthesia used in conjunction with the papoose board to create a safe, sane situation for everyone involved. If the child needs the procedure and general anesthesia is too dangerous, then a papoose board is obviously a good choice. However, if the dental situation is not an emergency, then I think that waiting till the child is old enough to not need the papoose board should also be looked at as a viable option.
