PEWS is a tool to aid recognition of sick and deterlorating children.

PEWS should be calculated every time observations

are recorded.

How to calculate score :

 Record observation at intervals as prescribed

 Record observations in black pen with a dot
 Score as per the colour key
0 1 3
 Add total points score
 Record total score in PEWS box at bottom of chart
Concerns include,but are not restricted to;
 Score should be taken as below
●gut feeling
PEWS Level of Action to be taken
escalations ●looks unwell
Regardless of PEWS always escalate if concerned about about a patient’s condition
0 0
●apnoea
1-2 1
3-4 or any in red 2
●airway threat

●increased work of breathing,

●significant↑in 0₂ requirement

●Poor perfusion/blue/mottled/cool peripheries

●seizures

●confusion/irritability/altered behavior

●hypoglycaemia

●high pain score despite appropriate analgesia

 If observations are as expected for patient’s clinical condition,please note below accepted parameters for future calls

PAEDIATRIC SEPSIS 6 If YES respond with Paediatric Sepsis 6 within 1 hour:

Recognition:Suspected or proven
infection +2 of :
 Core temperature <36°C >
38°C
 Inappropriate Tachycardia
 Altered mental state:
Sleepy/irritable/floopy
 Periphal perfusion,CRT >2
sec,cool,mottled
Lower threshold in vulnerable groups
Think could this be sepsis?
IF NOT then why is this child unwell?
 Give high flow oxygen
 IV or IO acces and blood cultures,glucose,lactate
 Give IV or IO antibiotics
 Consider fluid resuscitation
 Consider onotropic support early
 Involve senior clinicials/specialist EARLY
