  5. F2F • Capillary refill time after five seconds' pressure on a finger or the sternum should be two seconds. Blotchy, cold peripheral skin suggests circulatory failure

  6. Traffic light system for identifying risk of serious illnessChildren with fever and any of the symptoms or signs in the red column should be recognised as being at high risk. Similarly, children with fever and any of the symptoms or signs in the amber column and none in the red column should be recognised as being at intermediate risk. Children with symptoms and signs in the green column and none in the amber or red column are at low risk. The management of children with fever should be directed by the level of risk.
