A: Optimal airway position for infants

Note how a rolled towel is placed under the baby’s shoulders to allow space for the occiput and avoid flexion of the neck and airway.

‘B’ assessment

Video links to examples of children with signs of respiratory distress:

‘D’ assessment

Example video showing a bulging fontanelle (excuse the slightly cheesy style!)

Non accidental injury

Sadly, NAI in under 2’s causes more than 10% of serious injuries to children.

Stigmata of possible NAI include:

  • Bruising on the cheeks, neck, genitals, buttocks and back
  • Pattern bruising from an implement including fingertip bruising
  • Burns to hands, legs, feet and buttocks
  • Subconjunctival haemorrhage
  • Epistaxis in infants

Example of subconjunctival haemorrhage:
