Appearance Ans ➡ The child's general appearance is the most
important thing to consider when determining how severe the illness or
injury is and the need for treatment. It reflects the adequancy of ventilation,
oxygenation, brain perfusion, and central nervous system function. From
across the room, the child should be assessed for tone, interactiveness,
consolability, look/gaze and speech/cry.

indicator of oxygenation and ventilation than respiratory rate or the
auscultation of chest sounds. Look and listen for abnormal breath sounds,
abnormal positioning, retractions and nasal flaring.

PAT, the child may be considered to be sicker and may require a higher
acuity rating decision and the initiation of a focused treatment intervention.

ecomponents of the PAT, this child should be considered sickest, with a high
acuity rating decision and rapid resuscitation treatment interventions.
