{"Image DocumentName": "Tape and bandage", "Image ImageDescription": "Various types of gentle tape are used for surgical procedures and sensitive skin. Adhesive tape may show on the radiograph and create an artifact that could obscure the anatomic part of interest. Also, some patients have an allergic reaction to adhesive tape. The fragile skin of infants can be injured by adhesive tape, unless the tape is twisted so that the adhesive surface is not against the skin. Gauze pads placed between skin and adhesive tape also can be used effectively. A 4-inch ace bandage is best for small infants and young children, whereas a 6-inch bandage works well for older children. These are best used for immobilizing the legs. When starting the wrapping process, begin at the patient s hips and wrap down to the patient s midcalf. Do not wrap too tightly; this would cut off circulation.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
