Would you agree with the idea than any child under 6 should have their shirt cut open straight away when they come into an ambulance? This might be because children 6 and under are more likely to fidget and fight if they realise what you are going to do so getting it done as the first thing makes it easier later.
| 36% (4) | I think it's a great idea | |
|---|---|---|
| 0% (0) | That's a terrible idea | |
| 63% (7) | Don't do it unless you need to |

When you cut a kids shirt, does the child usually react differently depending on if they have an undershirt/vest or not? eg. they are more likely to cry if they haven't got one underneath
