PEWS (pediatric early warning score) Rating scale based on behavior, cardiovascular status and respiratory status
Score determines intervention
, Newborn heart and respiratory rate ( birth - 1 mo) R 40-60. HR 100-180
Infant heart rate and respiratory rate (1-12 mo) R 35-45. HR 100-180
Toddler heart rate and respiratory rate (13 mo- 3 y) R 25-35. HR 70-110
Preschool heart rate and respiratory rate (4-6y) R 21-23. HR 70-110
School age heart rate and respiratory rate (7-12 y) R 19-21. HR 70-110
Adolescent heart rate and respiratory rate (13-19y) R 16-18 HR 55-90
What position is best for a clinical exam? Position they spontaneously assume for comfort
A child's level of reactivity and responsiveness is usually a A reflection of the level of cerebral perfusion
reflection of what?
in infants, how can alertness be evaluated? by observing their ability to fixate on objects, particularly a parents face.
infant should turn towards sounds and should follow an objects horizontally and
starting at one month of age should f follow an object vertically as well
older children age 8 months to 2 years should exhibit answerer towards strangers
and show clear recognition of parents and caregivers
hypopnea shallow breathing at least 10 seconds or more which reduces O2 by 30%
hyperpnea increase in depth and rate of breathing. differs from hyperventilating as breaths
are deeper instead of just faster
Poiseuille's Law a law of physiology stating that resistance in and airway is inversely related to it's
radius to the fourth power, so reducing the airway radius by 50% would increase
the resistance 16 times
