How to Apply an Air Splint?

Applying an air splint involves several steps:
1. Select the Appropriate Size: Choose a splint that fits the child's limb size.
2. Position the Limb: Place the injured limb in a comfortable and anatomically correct position.
3. Slide the Splint Over the Limb: Gently slide the deflated splint over the limb.
4. Inflate the Splint: Use a manual or automatic pump to inflate the splint until it is firm but not overly tight.
5. Check for Comfort and Circulation: Ensure the child is comfortable and check for adequate circulation by monitoring the color and temperature of the fingers or toes.
