You would for sure on the lower arm to keep the arm raised to minimize swelling and pain.

It will have no affect for the upper arm (above the elbow).

What is used to secure a fractured forearm?

The sling is used on an unmended fracture not merely to support the arm but also to keep the patient from using his or her arm as it is normally used. Once the fracture begins to mend the physician usually will allow the patient to discontinue the use of the sling but it can be used if the arm hurts and it feels more comfortable in the sling. I have found another great reason for the sling. It gets others to treat you tenderly and carefully so you don't get re-injured.

When making a sling where is the knot tied on the trangular bandage to create a pocket for the elbow?

Depends. In the Sling and Swathe you use two bandages. You tie them together at the short side and place the knot at the elbow. One bandage will wrap around the neck and be tied behind the neck to support the arm from being lowered. The "swathe" will be tied around the persons chest, catching the arm and being tied under the opposite arm pit (if your splinting the right arm, you would tie it under the left arm pit). The Swathe prevents the patient from moving the arm out from the body. A sling only is tied behind the neck. Make sure you always pad the area behind any not. There are numerous ways to do this. This is how I do it in the field. There is no wrong way providing the arm is immobilized and there is no further harm to patient. This is a skill that is hard to describe in writting and you really need to practice it. One of these days I will post a video on you tube as to how I do it.
