    23. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 23 Vital Signs (Continued) Monitor Pulse 30 seconds minimum Rate and Quality Central and Peripheral Tachycardia (Fast) and Triggers Compensatory Mechanism Shock Anxiety Fever Pain Medical Illness Traumatic Injury Environmental Insult

    24. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 24 Vital Signs (Continued) Bradycardia (Slow) and Triggers End Stages Shock Hypothermia Hypoxia/Hypoxemia Cardiac Pathology Congenital Anomalies Certain Medications Rates Decrease through Childhood to Adolescence

    25. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 25 Vital Signs (Continued) RESPIRATION OBSERVATION Begins with P-A-T Prior to and During Exam For Following Tachypnea (Fast) or Bradypnea (Slow) Hyperpnea (Deep) or Hypopnea (Shallow) Apnea (Absent) Use of Accessory Muscles Intercostal, Subcostal, Subclavicular, or Diaphragmatic Noises Wheezing (Inspiratory and/or Expiratory), Grunting (Expiratory), Rhonchi (Upper Airway Rattling), Rales (Lower Airway Crackles) Nasal Flaring

    26. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 26 Vital Signs (Continued) Tachypnea (Fast) and Triggers Compensatory Mechanism Shock Anxiety Fever Pain Medical Illness Traumatic Injury Environmental Insult Monitor 30 seconds minimum Rate, Depth, and Quality

    27. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 27 Vital Signs (Continued) BLOOD PRESSURE Compensatory Mechanism Sustains Normotension (Normal BP) Longer in Pediatrics Hypotension (Low BP) Confirms Decompensated Shock Peripheral Pulse Presence Infants (Birth to 12 months) = Minimum Systolic Pressure of 60 mmHg Children (1 year to 8 years) = Minimum Systolic Pressure of 70 + (2 x Age in Years) Normal Diastolic = 2/3 Systolic Appropriate Size BP Cuff Mandatory

    28. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 28 Vital Signs (Continued) TEMPERATURE Protective Mechanism Environmental (Heat and Cold) Regulator Microbial Protection Assessment Rectally (Most Accurate): Normal = 36 C (96.8 F) Axillary or Tympanic: Normal = 36.5 C (97.6 F) Orally: Normal = 37 C (98.6 F) Fever: Most common cause of seizure in infants

    29. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 29 Vital Signs (Continued) PULSE OXIMETRY Placement Proximal to Central Circulation Earlobe = Recommended Site Administer O2 if SAO2 < 95% CO binds with Hemoglobin 200 times faster than O2 Pulse Ox of NO VALUE in such case

    30. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 30 Airway: Pediatric vs Adult OBJECTIVE 6-1.3 C Airway Differences Pediatric Head Prominent Occiput Tongue Larger More Anterior Epiglottis U Shaped Floppier Protrudes more in Laryngopharynx

    31. 2003 Oklahoma EMSC Resource Center 31 Airway (Continued) Pediatric (Continued) Trachea Shorter Infant: 4-5 cm Child: 8 cm More Flexible Rings Less Well Developed Smallest Airway Diameter = Cricoid Ring Larynx More Anterior More Cephalad Cords Shorter and Concave Lungs: (Tidal Volume Dependent on Diaphragmatic Movement) Adult Opposite that Mentioned
