Components of a Focused Pediatric Assessment • Always ABCs! • PAT: Pediatric Assessment Triangle • Ongoing Triage – • Minor vs. • Serious vs. Life-Threatening • Problem- Focused Examination Appearance Includes LOC & Behavior PAT Breathing Changes Skin Circulation
PAT General Appearance Work of Breathing Circulation to the Skin
Initial Assessment (s) • Primary • A = Airway • B = Breathing • C = Circulation • D = Disability • Secondary • E = Exposure • F = Full Set of Vitals • G = Give Comfort Measures including Pain Assessment & Tx. • H = Head –to-Toe assessment & history • I = Inspect posterior surfaces – rashes, bruising
Physical Assessment • The approach is: • Orderly • Systematic • Head-to-toe • But FLEXIBILIY is essential • And be kind and gentle • but firm, direct and honest
Physical Assessment • Facial expression • Posture / movement • Hygiene • Behavior • Developmental Status General Appearance & Behavior
Vital Signs • Temperature: rectal only when absolutely necessary • Pulse: apical on all children under 1 year • Respirations: infant use abdominal muscles • Blood pressure: admission base line • And the “Fifth” Vital Sign is ____ ?

Percussion Use of tapping to produce sounds that are characterized according to: • Intensity • Pitch • Duration • Quality Direct vs. Indirect
• Listening for body sounds • Bell: low-pitched • - heart • Diaphragm: high-pitched • – lung & bowel Auscultation LUNGS: Listen to all lung fields FRONT AND BACK! auscultate for breath sounds and adventitious sounds
