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:
2017 NICE guidance: When to suspect maltreatment in under 18s.
Sepsis
