2 Airway Differences Larger tongue relative to the mouth Larger epiglottis Less well-developed rings of cartilage in the trachea Narrower, lower 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. 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.
3 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 8 months. Growth and Development Thoughts and behaviors of children usually grouped into stages: Infancy Toddlers Preschool School age Adolescence Infant First year of life They respond mainly to physical stimuli. Crying is a way of expression. Usually prefer to be with caregiver. If possible, have caregiver hold the infant as you start your examination.
4 Toddler 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. 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 when you explain what you are going to do using simple descriptions. They can be distracted by using toys. School Age 6 to 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.
5 Adolescent to 8 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. Family Matters When a child is ill or injured, you have several patients, not just one. Caregivers often need support when medical emergencies develop. Children often mimic the behavior of their caregivers. Be calm, professional, and sensitive. Pediatric Emergencies Dehydration Vomiting and diarrhea Greater risk than adults Fever Rarely life threatening Caution if occurring with rash
6 Pediatric Emergencies, cont'd Meningitis Inflammation of the tissue that covers the spinal cord and brain. Caused by an infection. If left untreated can lead to brain damage or death. Pediatric Emergencies, cont'd Febrile seizures Common between 6 months and 6 years Last less than 5 minutes Poisoning Signs and symptoms vary widely. Determine what substances were involved. Physical Differences Children and adults suffer different injuries from the same type of incident. Children s bones are less developed than an adult s. A child s head is larger than an adult s, which greatly stresses the neck in deceleration injuries.
7 Psychological Differences Children are not as psychologically mature. They are often injured due to their undeveloped judgment and lack of experience. Injury Patterns: Automobile Collisions The exact area of impact will depend on the child s height. A car bumper dips down when stopping suddenly, causing a lower point of impact. Injury Patterns: Sports Activities Head and neck injuries can occur from high-speed collisions during contact sports. Immobilize the cervical spine. Follow local protocols for helmet removal.
8 Head Injuries Common injury among children The head is larger in proportion to an adult. Nausea and vomiting are signs of pediatric head injury. Chest Injuries Most chest injuries in children result from blunt trauma. Children have soft, flexible ribs. The absence of obvious external trauma does not exclude the likelihood of serious internal injuries. Abdominal Injuries Abdominal injuries are very common in children. Children compensate for blood loss better than adults but transition into shock more quickly. Watch for: Weak, rapid pulse Cold, clammy skin Poor capillary refill
9 Injuries to the Extremities Children s bones bend more easily than adults bones. Incomplete fractures can occur. Do not use adult splinting devices on children unless the child is large enough to meet the required objectives. PASG Pneumatic Anti-shock Garments We don't use them in King County. They're being mentioned now because the state exam may have a few questions about them. This has been a public service announcement =-) Burns Most common burns involve exposure to hot substances. Suspect internal injuries from chemical ingestion when burns are present around lips and mouth. Infection is a common problem with burns. Consider the possibility of child abuse.
10 Submersion Injury Drowning or near drowning nd most common cause of unintentional death of children in the US Assessment and reassessment of ABCs are critical. Consider the need for C-spine protection. SIDS Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Several known risk factors: Mother younger than 0 years old Mother smoked during pregnancy Low birth weight Tasks at Scene Assess and manage the patient. Communicate with and support the family. Assess the scene.
11 Assessment and Management Assess ABCs and provide interventions as necessary. If child shows signs of postmortem changes, call medical control. If there is no evidence of postmortem changes, begin CPR immediately. Communication and Support The death of a child is very stressful for the family. Provide support in whatever ways you can. Use the infant s name. If possible, allow the family time with the infant. Scene Assessment Carefully inspect the environment, following local protocols. Concentrate on: Signs of illness General condition of the house Family interaction Site where infant was discovered
12 Apparent Life-Threatening Event Infant found not breathing, cyanotic, and unresponsive but resumes breathing with stimulation Complete careful assessment. Transport immediately. Pay strict attention to airway management. Death of a Child Be prepared to support the family. Family may insist on resuscitation efforts. Introduce yourself to the child s caregivers. Do not speculate on the cause of death. Death of a Child, continued Allow the family to see the child and say good-bye. Be prepared to answer questions posed by caregivers. Seek professional help for yourself if you notice signs of posttraumatic stress.
13 Children With Special Needs Children born prematurely who have associated lung problems Small children or infants with congenital heart disease Children with neurologic diseases Children with chronic diseases or with functions that have been altered since birth Tracheostomy Tube 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.
14 Central IV Lines Gastrostomy Tubes Food can back up the esophagus into the lungs. Have suction readily available. Give supplemental oxygen if the patient has difficulty breathing. Shunts Tubes that drain excess fluid from around brain If shunt becomes clogged, changes in mental status may occur. If a shunt malfunctions, the patient may go into respiratory arrest.
15 Pediatric Assessment Assessment and Management Caring for sick and injured children presents special challenges. EMT-Bs may find themselves anxious when dealing with critically ill or injured children. Treatment is the same as that for adults in most emergency situations. Scene Size-up. Scene Size-up Take note of your surroundings. Scene assessment will supplement additional findings. Note: Position of the patient Condition of the home Clues to child abuse
16 Initial Assessment. Scene Size-up. Initial Assessment Decide SICK/NOT SICK (Begins before you touch the patient.) Determine a chief complaint. The Pediatric Assessment Triangle can help. Focused History/Physical Exam. Scene Size-up. Initial Assessment 3. Focused History/ Physical Exam Should be completed on scene unless severity requires rapid transport Young children should be examined toe to head. Focused exam on noncritical patients Rapid exam on potentially critical patients Detailed Physical Exam. Scene Size-up. Initial Assessment 3. Focused History/ Physical Exam 4. Detailed Physical Exam Status changes frequently in children. The PAT can help with reassessment.
17 Ongoing Assessment. Scene Size-up. Initial Assessment 3. Focused History/ Physical Exam 4. Detailed Physical Exam 5. Ongoing Assessment Repeat vital signs frequently. If child deteriorates, repeat the initial assessment. Pediatric Assessment Triangle Assessing the ABCs Airway: position patient correctly Work of breathing: Effort Obstructions Rate Circulation: Rate Skin color, temperature, and capillary refill
18 Transport Decision Children under 40 lbs should be transported in a child safety seat, if the situation allows. Seat should be secured to the cot or captain s chair. Cannot be secured to bench seat Child may have to be transported without a seat, depending on condition. Respirations Abnormal respirations are a common sign of illness or injury. Count respirations for 30 seconds. In children less than 3 years, count the rise and fall of the abdomen. Note effort of breathing. Listen for noises. Pulse In infants, feel over the brachial or femoral area. In older children, use the carotid artery. Count for at least minute. Note strength of the pulse.
19 Blood Pressure Use a cuff that covers two thirds of the upper arm. If scene conditions make it difficult to measure blood pressure accurately, do not waste time trying. Skin Signs Feel for temperature and moisture. Estimate capillary refill. Care of the Pediatric Airway Position the airway. Position the airway in a neutral sniffing position. If spinal injury is suspected, use jawthrust maneuver to open the airway.
20 Care of the Pediatric Airway, cont'd Positioning the airway: Place the patient on a firm surface. Fold a small towel under the patient s shoulders and back. Place tape across patient s forehead to limit head rolling. Oropharyngeal Airways Determine the appropriately sized airway. Place the airway next to the face to confirm correct size. Position the airway. Open the mouth. Insert the airway until flange rests against lips. Reassess airway. Assessing Ventilation Observe chest rise in older children. Observe abdominal/chest rise and fall in younger children or infants. Skin color indicates amount of oxygen getting to organs.
21 Oxygen Delivery Devices Nonrebreathing mask at 0 to L/min provides 90+% oxygen concentration. Blow-by technique at 6 L/min provides more than % oxygen concentration. Nasal cannula at 4 to 6 L/min provides 4% to 44% oxygen concentration. BVM Devices Equipment must be the right size. BVM device at 0 to 5 L/min provides 90+% oxygen concentration. Ventilate at the proper rate and volume. May be used by one or two rescuers Airway Obstruction Croup A viral infection of the airway below the level of the vocal cords Epiglottitis Infection of the soft tissue in the area above the vocal cords Foreign body airway obstructions
22 Signs and Symptoms Stridor Retractions Nasal flaring Difficulty speaking Decreased or absent breath sounds Complete Airway Obstruction Signs and symptoms Ineffective cough (no sound) Inability to cry Increasing respiratory difficulty, with stridor Cyanosis Loss of consciousness Removing an FBAO In a RESPONSIVE child: Kneel behind the child. Give abdominal thrusts. Repeat the technique until object comes out or the child becomes unresponsive.
23 Removing an FBAO, continued In an UNRESPONSIVE child: Place the child on a firm, flat surface. Inspect the upper airway and remove any visible object. (No blind sweeps.) Attempt rescue breathing. If ventilation is still unsuccessful, CPR with one exception: Visualize in the airway before you attempt ventilation. Removing an FBAO, continued Open airway again to try and see object. Only try to remove object if you see it. Attempt rescue breathing. Removing an FBAO, continued If unsuccessful, reposition head and attempt ventilation again. Continue CPR with one exception: Visualize in the airway before you attempt ventilation.
24 Airway Obstruction in Infants If RESPONSIVE: Deliver 5 back slaps. Bring infant upright on the thigh. Give five quick chest thrusts. Check airway. Repeat cycle as often as necessary. Removing an FBAO, continued If the infant is UNRESPONSIVE: Inspect the airway. Attempt rescue breathing. Reposition the airway (if needed) If airway remains obstructed, CPR with one exception: Visualize in the airway before you attempt ventilation. Trauma Extremity injuries in children are generally managed in the same manner as those in adults.
25 Trauma, continued Be alert for airway problems on all children with traumatic injuries. Give supplemental oxygen to all children with possible: Head injuries Chest injuries Abdominal injuries Shock If ventilation is required, provide at 0 breaths/min. Immobilization Any child with a head or back injury should be immobilized. Young children may need padding beneath their torso. Children may need padding along the sides of the backboard. Immobilization in a Child Safety Seat Assess child for injuries and seat for visible damage. If child is injured or seat is damaged, remove child to another transport device Apply padding around child to minimize movement.
26 Removing a Child from a Safety Seat Remove both the child and the seat from the vehicle. Place immobilization device behind the child. Slide child into place on device. Respiratory Emergencies Signs and Symptoms include: Nasal flaring Grunting respirations Use of accessory muscles Retractions of rib cage Tripod position in older children Emergency Care Provide supplemental oxygen in the most comfortable manner. Place child in position of comfort. This may be in caregiver s lap. If patient is in respiratory failure, begin assisted ventilation immediately. Continue to provide supplemental oxygen.
27 Shock Circulatory system is unable to deliver sufficient blood to organs. Many different causes Patients may have increased heart rate, respirations, and pale or mottled skin. Children do not show decreased blood pressure until shock is severe. Assessing Circulation Pulse: Above 60 beats/min suggests shock Skin signs: Assess temperature and moisture Capillary refill: Is it delayed? Color: Is skin pink, pale, ashen, or mottled? Emergency Care for Shock Ensure airway. Give supplemental oxygen. Provide immediate transport. Continue monitoring vital signs en route. Contact ALS for backup as needed.
28 Seizures May present in several different ways A postictal period of extreme fatigue or unresponsiveness usually follows seizure. Be alert to presence of medications, poisons, and possible abuse. Febrile Seizures Febrile seizures are most common in children from 6 months to 6 years. Febrile seizures are caused by fever. Generally last less than 5 minutes Assess ABCs and begin cooling measures. Provide prompt transport. Emergency Care for Seizures Perform initial assessment, focusing on the ABCs. Securing and protecting the airway is the priority. Place patient in the recovery position. Be ready to suction.
29 Emergency Care for Seizures Deliver oxygen by mask, blow-by, or nasal cannula. Begin BVM ventilation if no signs of improvement. Call ALS for backup if appropriate. Dehydration Determine if child is vomiting or has diarrhea and for how long. How many wet diapers has the child had during the day? (6 to 0 is normal) What fluids are the child taking? What was the child s weight before the symptoms started? Has the child been normally active? Emergency Care for Dehydration Assess the ABCs. Obtain baseline vital signs. ALS backup may be needed for IV administration.
