If your child is capable of pulling out NG tubes/IV lines etc, you may want to invest in some "no-nos" otherwise known as pediatric arm immobilizers. Here are a few examples...

I have used the pedi-wrap brand for both arms and legs on Ellie. They do not seem too uncomfortable.
They are also good to give a good long stretch (such as overnight) for kids who have tight arms and legs. If they have a hard time sleeping with them, try putting the braces on every other night alternating on every other side.
What have you tried to keep your kids from pulling out tubes? Please comment below.
