• Also known as ‘end of bed assessment’

Airway
Interactive CPD Series | Episode 5 | Spotting the Sick Child
• Smaller face
• Compressible floor of the mouth
• Pressure on the eyes can cause slowing of the heart rate
• Mask sizing is therefore important!
• Obstruction of the airway is a common cause of death
• Chest movement does not always mean breathing
• Look, listen and feel for breathing
• Listen for stridor and/or wheeze

Breathing
Interactive CPD Series | Episode 5 | Spotting the Sick Child
• Smaller lungs means a reduced reserve volume
• Weak accessory muscles – breathing relies on the diaphragm
• High baseline metabolic rate – increases when unwell
• Increased respiratory rate is often the first sign
• Look for abnormal sounds – stridor, grunting, wheeze
• Recession, particularly >5 y/o is a more worrying sign
• Nasal flaring can occur in young children
• Accessory muscle use – ‘head bobbing’

Circulation
Interactive CPD Series | Episode 5 | Spotting the Sick Child
• 80ml/kg – a newborn will only have around 240ml of blood
• Increasing heart rate is the only way to increase blood pressure
• Children are able to compensate well for shock
• Blood pressure is of little use in practice
• Bradycardia is a serious sign – often a reason to start CPR
• Capillary refill time is a useful indicator
• Skin temperature and colour are also useful
