Hydrocephalus, subdural hemaoma, or rarely brain umor or inheried syndromes may cause an abnormal large head size. o Vial signs ▪ blood pressure ▪ measure blood pressure a leas once during inancy. Alhough he handheld mehod is shown he mos easily used measure o sysolic blood pressure and inans in young child is o obain wih Doppler mehod. ▪ Pulse ▪ he hear rae is quie variable and will increase markedly wih exciemen, crying, or anxiey. Thereore measure he pulse when he inan or child is quie. ▪ Tachycardia is greaer han 180 o 200 beas per minue, usually indicaes proxamol super venricular achycardia. Bradycardia may righ From serious underlying disease. ▪ ▪ ▪ Respiraory rae ▪ he respiraory rae has a very wide range and is more responsive o illness, exercise, and emoon han aduls. ▪ Respiraory disease such as bronchiolis or pneumonia may cause rapid respiraons up o 80 o 90 breahs per minue, and increase work o breahing period peaceul achypnea, wihou increased work o breahing, may be a sign o cardiac ailure. ▪ Temperaure ▪ body emperaure and inans and children is less consisen han aduls.

The mos common dysrhyhmias in children is proximal super venricular achycardia. ▪ A louder han normal pulmonic componen suggess pulmonary hyperension. Persisen spling o S2 may indicae arial sepal deec. ▪ Mos inans wih cardiac pahology have signs beyond hear murmurs such as a poor eeding, ailure o hrive, irriabiliy, poor overall appearance, weakness, akip NIA, clubbing, hepaomegaly and ague. ▪ Breas ▪ he breas o males and emales may be enlarged or monhs aer birh as a resul o maernal esrogen. ▪ Abdomen ▪ you will nd i easy o palpae in inans abdomen, because inans like being ouched. ▪ Abnormal abdominal masses can be associaed wih kidney, bladder, or bowel umors.
