About

The Bedside Paediatric Early Warning System is a tool used in hospitals to help identify children who may be getting sicker. It describes how nurses and doctors can use this system to watch for signs that a child’s health is changing. By catching these changes early, they can provide the right care quickly and prevent serious problems. The system uses simple scores based on things like heart rate, breathing, and behavior to alert medical staff when something might be wrong. This helps keep kids safe by making sure they get the attention they need as soon as possible.
