Urine Output: Infant
2 mL/kg per hour
Urine Output: Child
1-2 mL/kg per hour
Urine Output: Adolescent
0.5-1 mL/kg per hour
Measuring Urine Output via Diapers
1 gram increase in diaper weight = 1 mL of urine
Weight Estimation Formula (1-Puberty)
Wt (kg) = (3 x age in years) + 7
Normal Systolic BP (2 years or older)
= 90 + (2 x Age in years)
Lower Limit Normal Systolic BP (2 years or older)
= 70 + (2 x Age in years)
Normal RR: Infant (1-12 months)
30-60
Normal RR: Toddler (1-3 years)
24-40
Normal RR: Preschooler (3-5 years)
22-34

Normal HR: School-aged (5-11 years)
70-120
Normal HR: Adolescent (11-18 years)
60-100
Systolic BP: Neonate (Term, birth to 28 days)
> 60 (or strong central pulse)
Systolic BP: Child (>10)
> 90
AVPU scale
A - Awake and alert

U - Completely unresponsive
Primary Assessment
A - Airway w/ Cervical spine immobilization

C - Circulation
D - Disability (Brief neurological assessment)
E - Exposure and Environmental Control
Fluid Bolus
20 mL/kg of Crystalloid
Fluid Bolus for Cardiogenic Shock
10 mL/kg of Crystalloid
Blood Administration
10 mL/kg
Estimating ETT tube Depth
Depth (cm) = Internal tube diameter (mm) x 3
Estimated Uncuffed ETT (1-10 yrs)
Uncuffed ETT = (Age in years/4) + 4
Estimated Cuffed ETT (1-10 yrs)
Cuffed = (Age in years/4) + 3.5
Systolic BP: Infant (1-24 mo)
> 70 (or strong central pulse)
Systolic BP: Child (2-10)
> 70 + (2 x Age in years)
