6.3 Adapting the KED® Pro for a
Pediatric Patient
The patient’s size and condition determine how the KED
®
Pro can be adapted for a child.
In this example of one possible method, the child’s legs are
longer than the KED
®
Pro so the KED
®
Pro and child are
placed on a long spine board.

torsoapscanbewrappedandfastenednormally(Figure51).
6.4 Adapting KED® Pro for an
Angulated Neck
When it is not desirable to straighten the patient’s neck, fold
theheadapsinward.Positionarolledtowelasneeded,then
place a head strap across the patient’s forehead and secure
the strap to the KED® Pro fastening strips (Figure 52).
6.5 Adapting the KED® Pro for Use
With Monitoring Systems
Foldingtwoslatsofeachtorsoapinwardprovidesmore
chest exposure when needed. Loosening two of the three
cheststrapsallowsdebrillationwithoutlosingimmobility
(Figure 53).
