Airway Differences Larger tongue relative to
the mouth Less well-developed
rings of cartilage in the trachea
Head tilt-chin lift may occlude the airway.

Breathing Differences Infants breathe faster than children
or adults. Infants use the diaphragm when
they breathe. Sustained, labored breathing may
lead to respiratory failure.
![Page 4: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Circulation Differences The heart rate increases for
illness and injury. Vasoconstriction keeps vital
organs nourished. Constriction of the blood
vessels can affect blood flow to the extremities.
![Page 5: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Skeletal Differences
Bones are weaker and more flexible. They are prone to fracture with
stress. Infants have two small openings
in the skull called fontanels. Fontanels close by 18 months.

Growth and Development Thoughts and behaviors of
children usually grouped into stages Infancy Toddler years Preschool age School age Adolescence
![Page 7: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Infant First year of life They respond mainly to
physical stimuli. Crying is their main
avenue of expression. They may prefer to be with
caregiver. If possible, have caregiver
hold the infant as you start your examination.
![Page 8: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Toddler 1 to 3 years of age They begin to walk and
explore the environment. They may resist separation
from caregivers. Make any observations you
can before touching a toddler. They are curious and
adventuresome.
![Page 9: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Preschool 3 to 6 years of age They can use simple language effectively. They can understand directions. They can identify painful areas when
questioned. They can understand what you are going to
do using simple descriptions. They can be distracted by using toys.
![Page 10: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
School-Age Child 6 to 12 years of age They begin to think like adults. They can be included with the parent when
taking medical history. They may be familiar with physical exam. They may be able to make choices.
![Page 11: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Adolescent 12 to 18 years of age They are very concerned about body
image. They may have strong feelings about
being observed. Respect an adolescent’s privacy. They understand pain. Explain any procedure that you are doing.
![Page 12: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Approach to Assessment Obtain a complete set of baseline vitals.
Assess the need for ALS backup or immediate transport.
A child’s condition may deteriorate rapidly during transport.
Have pediatric resuscitation equipment ready.

AppearanceLook at the patient from across the
room……this is an important indicator of
oxygenation, brain perfusion,
and overall CNS function

BreathingA child with abnormal breath
sounds needs high flow oxygen and immediate ALS
intervention!

Skin Signs
Feel for temperature and moisture.
Estimate capillary refill.
![Page 23: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pulse In infants, feel over
the brachial or femoral area.
In older children use the carotid artery.
Count for at least 1 minute.
Note strength of the pulse.
![Page 24: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Blood Pressure Use a cuff that covers two thirds
of the arm. If scene conditions make it
difficult to measure blood pressure accurately, do not waste time trying.
![Page 25: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Artificial Ventilators Provide respirations for children
unable to breathe on their own If ventilator malfunctions, remove
child from the ventilator and begin ventilations with a BVM device.
Ventilate during transport.

Shunts Tubes that drain excess fluid
from around brain If shunt becomes clogged,
changes in mental status may occur.
Patient may go into respiratory arrest.
![Page 40: PEDIATRICS… ... more than just little people](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815c5c550346895dca61a0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Remember, family does matter…
When a child is ill or injured, you may have several patients, not just one.
Children often mimic the behavior of their caregivers.
Be calm, professional, and sensitive.
