Abstract

The System-wide Paediatric Observation Tracking (SPOT) programme in England aims to improve the recognition of, and response to, deterioration in the health status of children and young people in any healthcare environment. The first phase of the programme involved the development of a standardised inpatient chart and track and trigger system, or Paediatric Early Warning System (PEWS), for England. This is the first of two articles that aim to develop nurses' knowledge and understanding of the SPOT programme and the PEWS to assist them in providing safe and effective care to children and young people. This first article describes the assessment, documentation and scoring of a child's vital signs and observations to calculate a PEWS score, which indicates the required escalation level and corresponding actions to take. The article also outlines the assessment and documentation of other important physiological parameters that do not contribute to the PEWS score but inform the escalation level and actions to take.

英国使用国家儿科早期预警系统(PEWS):第1部分。
英国的全系统儿科观察跟踪(SPOT)计划旨在提高对任何医疗保健环境中儿童和青少年健康状况恶化的认识和反应。该计划的第一阶段涉及为英格兰制定标准化的住院病人图表和跟踪触发系统,或儿科预警系统(PEWS)。这是两篇文章中的第一篇,旨在提高护士对SPOT计划和PEWS的认识和理解,以帮助他们为儿童和青少年提供安全有效的护理。第一篇文章描述了儿童生命体征的评估、记录和评分,以及计算PEWS评分的观察结果,该评分指示了所需的升级级别和采取的相应措施。本文还概述了其他重要生理参数的评估和记录,这些参数不影响PEWS评分,但可告知升级水平和应采取的措施。
