The arm of the affected side should be bound tothe chest or carried in a sling, if the motion of the pectoral muscles givespain. If displacement inward is caused by the bandage, it is not tobe employed.

In some casesconstriction of the entire chest is very uncomfortable ; this is especiallyso when the patient has asthma or chronic bronchitis.
