Diastolic pressure
pressure in arteries when heart if filling/relaxed.
eccymosis

How children compensate for respiratory difficulty
increased rate of breathing
What is an early sign of respiratory distress in children
tachpnoea
Children’s dominant respiratory muscle
the diaphragm- the chest wall is not moved significantly. This is why children are stomach breathers.
children indrawing and retraction
As children have very elastic ribs so in drawing, retraction very obvious and can lead to fatigue.
what does hypoxia cause in children
tachycardia, agitation, drowsiness pallour, cyanosis is a very late sign.
children blood volume
Children have a higher blood volume and CO relative to size in comparison with adults. However they have a lower total blood volume. Therefore a lot less significant injuries such bleeding from scalp can cause hypovalemic shock. Children are good at vasocontricting, So a drop in BP is a very late sign of shock.
signs of shock in children
tachycardia, tachypnoea, vasoconstriction (causing slow CRT and mottled skin).
