This secures absolute fixation of the needle. Further splinting of the arm is then seldom necessary and free movement of the arm is permitted. A third method, Muir’s method (Fig. 16c), is to fix the arm in pronation, the Cramer wire splint having been bent to support the natural curve of the arm in this position, It is claimed that the position of pronation is more comfortable than supination for long- continued transfusions. } TRANSFUSION DURING TRANSPORTATION Stretchers During the relatively short time when a stretcher patient is being | manhandled, say from a ward to an ambulance, it is convenient to have a means of suspending a transfusion bottle so that it has neither to be carried by hand nor laid precariously on the stretcher.
