Basic Points : Basic Points Oxygenation, ventilation adequate to preserve life, CNS function? Cardiac output sufficient to sustain life, CNS function? Oxygenation, ventilation, cardiac output likely to deteriorate before reaching hospital? C-spine protected? Major fractures immobilized? Basic Points : Basic Points If invasive procedure considered, do benefits outweigh risks? If parent is not accompanying child, is history adequate? Transport expeditiously Reassess, Reassess, Reassess Patient Assessment : Patient Assessment Priorities are similar to adult Greater emphasis on airway, breathing Patient Assessment : Patient Assessment Limit to essentials Look before you touch Pediatric Assessment Triangle:First Impression : Pediatric Assessment Triangle:First Impression Appearance - mental status, body position, tone Breathing - visible movement, effort Circulation - color Appearance Breathing Circulation Pediatric Assessment TriangleInitial Assessment : Pediatric Assessment TriangleInitial Assessment Appearance - AVPU Breathing - airway open, effort, sounds, rate, central color Circulation - pulse rate/strength, skin color/temp, cap refill, BP ( use at early ages) Appearance Breathing Circulation Initial Assessment : Initial Assessment Categorize as: Stable Potential Respiratory Failure or Shock Definite Respiratory Failure or Shock Cardiopulmonary Failure Initial Assessment : Initial Assessment Identify, correct life threats If not correctable, Support oxygenation, ventilation, perfusion Transport Vital Signs : Vital Signs Essential elements Proper equipment Knowledge of norms Carry chart of norms for reference Weight : Weight Why is weight a pedi vital sign? (Age[yrs] x 2) + 8 Heart Rate : Heart Rate Apical auscultation Peripheral palpation Tachycardia may result from: Fear Pain Fever Heart Rate : Heart Rate Tachycardia + Quiet, non-febrile patient = Decrease in cardiac output Heart rate rises long before BP falls! Bradycardia + Sick child = Premorbid state Child < 60 Infant <80 Blood Pressure : Blood Pressure Proper cuff size Width = 2/3 length of upper arm Bladder encircles arm without overlap Blood Pressure : Blood Pressure Children >1 year old Systolic BP = (Age x 2) + 80 Blood Pressure : Blood Pressure Hypotension = Late sign of shock Evaluate perfusion using: Level of consciousness Pulse rate Skin color, temperature Capillary refill Do not delay transport to get BP Respirations : Respirations Before touching For one full minute Approximate upper limit of normal = (40 - Age[yrs]) Respirations : Respirations > 60/min = Danger!!
