The three images were shared on Twitter and went viral right once, sparking a variety of comments across social media platforms.
After a Canadian user uploaded it on his Twitter account, a message with three pictures of babies being trapped inside a clear acrylic tube went viral and is now making waves online.
User feedback arrived soon. Many people laughed a lot at it. Others, though, were alarmed by the pictures and questioned what the children were going through.
In the pictures, you can see how the infants are crammed inside of a cylinder-like structure with their tiny arms compelled to be raised over their heads and their faces forced into a breathing slit.
If we pause to look at their countenance, it is clear that they are both highly astonished and perplexed by what is taking place to them.
The child is sporting a yellow T-shirt and appears to be the oldest of the three. His arms are held in the air, and he appears disgusted by the position he is in. He also looks to the side. The nurse next to him smiles and seems to be laughing with whoever is behind the camera despite his fury.
A health professional responded to the comments by stating that the object depicted in the photographs was not a tool of torture and that the statement made in the publication was accurate: the object was a pediatric X-ray immobilizer.
These three cases involve infants who are undergoing research to identify the best course of action for a quick recovery.
Many parents discussed their personal experiences using one of these gadgets when their kids needed to.
“One of these contained my first child. They didn’t let me know. A mother said, “I screamed when they put him on because he was so afraid.
“The pictures are entertaining, but seeing the baby in person is agony. I was so powerless. and the child is staring at you like he’s about to die!” added a second.
To others who claimed the message was not funny, one parent replied, “Everyone who blames people for laughing at this needs to relax.”
“Yeah, my child needs to get a chest X-ray in one of these. And yes, he will weep and scream alongside the same ferocity as when I denied him access to the dog’s drinker.
Others also said it made them “laugh,” but they also felt sorry for the babies in the photos. Someone also compared the device to a “blender.”
By confining and immobilizing the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, you reduce procedure time and ensure that the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 does not have to be re-exposed for a shaky X-ray.
When the device is used, 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren only need to wear their diaper, and someone has to lift their arms up for them while the seat is brought to the correct level and sat there.
In general, this device is no longer used. Now very young babies are placed in padded cribs that immobilize them without hurting or frightening them.
