- A common observation in children with respiratory illness that indicates a potential risk of hypoxemia is nasal flaring.
- Diaphragmatic breathing is typically observed in children less than 7 years of age.
- A common physical assessment finding in children with respiratory illness that may indicate airway obstruction is wheezing or stridor.
