It is safe to sleep in a splint if all of the points following are adhered to:

1. It is vital and necessary for the patient to be wearing a splint.

2. That the proximal and distal pulses are recorded and compared every four hours by a trained practioner.

3. But however this is dependant on the type of splint, the age of the patient and the nature of the injury or condition.

For further information or advise consult local GP or Pre-Hospital Care Centre.
