TractionBoard

Every patient on traction, ward by ward: the weight, the checks, the alignment and how long it has run.

What it is

For orthopaedic wards. The doctor orders the traction — skeletal or skin, the site and side, the indication, and their own weight, how often it is checked and how many days they expect it to run; none of these ships — and every later weight change is its own order with a reason. Nurses record each check: whether the weight hangs free and what it reads, limb alignment as set or drifted, the pin or skin site as they found it, and circulation and sensation; anything found needs what they did, and a check is kept as recorded. The board, filtered by ward, leads with checks overdue on the doctor’s interval, then anything found at the last check — a weight off the order, drift, a site problem, changed circulation — then traction past its expected days. On the ward phone a check with everything as ordered is one tap.

Questions clinics ask

What does TractionBoard do?

Every patient on traction, ward by ward: the weight, the checks, the alignment and how long it has run. For orthopaedic wards. The doctor orders the traction — skeletal or skin, the site and side, the indication, and their own weight, how often it is checked and how many days they expect it to run; none of these ships — and every later weight change is its own order with a reason. Nurses record each check: whether the weight hangs free and what it reads, limb alignment as set or drifted, the pin or skin site as they found it, and circulation and sensation; anything found needs what they did, and a check is kept as recorded. The board, filtered by ward, leads with checks overdue on the doctor’s interval, then anything found at the last check — a weight off the order, drift, a site problem, changed circulation — then traction past its expected days. On the ward phone a check with everything as ordered is one tap.
