and trigger the need for intervention at some threshold.2 A primary focus in the development of PEWS has been the establishment of reference ranges for physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiratory rate and systolic blood pressure alongside other factors that may contribute to an algorithm...
Heart rate and respiratory rate are key vital signs used to assess the physiological status of children in many clinical settings. They are used as initial measurements in acutely ill children, and in those undergoing intensive monitoring in high-dependency or intensive-care settings. During cardiopul...
Background and importance:Body temperature is considered an independent determinant of respiratory rate and heart rate; however, there is limited scientific evidence regarding the association. This study aimed to assess the association between temperature, and heart rate and respiratory rate in children....
Note that normal vital sign values for children are different than they are for adults. They also vary depending on age, sex, andweight. The four vital signs are: Body temperature Heart rate Respiration, orbreathing, rate Blood pressure ...
We asked whether, during the postnatal period, the daily patterns of body temperature (Tb), heart rate (HR) and breathing frequency (f) begin and develop in synchrony. To this end, measurements of HR, f and Tb were performed weekly, on two consecutive days, for the first two postnatal ...

The rate of cardiac contraction will vary throughout the first decade due to changes in muscle contractility and sodium–potassium pumps (Table 4.1). In general the heart rate increases in children with fever, severe anemia, hypoxia, hyperthyroidism, myocarditis and Kawasaki's syndrome. Tachycardia ...
Respiratory Sinus ArrhythmiaThe aim of this study was to determine the influence of breathing frequency and tidal volume on resting heart rate variability in children aged 9 years ( n = 29) and 16 years ( n = 19). Heart rate variability was measured in four conditions: (1) without the ...
There may also be external circulation that sets up currents in the environmental fluid to carry it over respiratory surfaces and, especially in the case of sedentary animals, to carry particulate food that is strained out and passed to the alimentary canal. Additionally, the circulatory system may...
