O f course, if simple measures don’t help, a phy sician visit might be appropriate, Franklin says. Check Child’s Breathing First, U nfo r t u n a t e l c lo w n e d » o w e r lin e s Jon I Pediatrician Nobody need to be told that a child’s breathing may be the most important thing he or she does, but a Stanford University pediatrician has some advice on simple ways to check if a child’s breathing is health threat­ ening. “Obviously, if the child is not breathing of very irregularly, it’s time to take emergency action. Start resus­ citation efforts immediately and seek medical attention at once, “ says Dr. Larry Mathers, associate professor of pediatrics and director of the pediatric intensive care unit at Lucile Salter P ack ard C h ild re n ’s H ospital at Stanford. But sometimes, says Mathers, breathing difficulties may be a little harder to evaluate. So if you think your chid may be having trouble breathing, take his or her shirt off and count the number of times per minute the child breathes in and out. For a newborn, 30 to 45 breaths out per minute may be normal; in a toddler, 20 to 35 times may be normal; while in a school-age child or an adult, 12 to 20 times per minute is considered the norm. Ifbreathing is clearly below these limits, thechild maybe suffering from a drug reaction or head injury, the pediatrician says If the child is turn­ ing a “Blue” color, that is a further sign of lack of oxygen, and an imme­ diate trip to the physician would ap­ pear to be indicated, says Mathers. Ifbreathing is too fast, pneumo­ nia and fever may be occurring, and taking the child’s temperature may show a fever, which is further evi­ dence of trouble. A prompt trip, prob­ ably within 24 hours, to see trained health personne, is probably war ranted. In addition, when breathing is too fa st Mathers says check the child’s nose and throat to see if there is any mucous or blockage. In these cases, a noticeable sound is apt to occur while the child is breathing in. If simply clearing the airway (helping “blow the child’s nose, for example) doesn’t improve the situation, take the child promptly to a physician for clinic. If a loud wheezing sound is heard when the child is breathing out, the trachea (or windpipe) may be locked, and a health professional may need to pro­ vide medication or oxygen if the con dition persists or the child becomes seriously uncomfortable, Mathers says Easter wishesl M alk com e wi tk L u ilt-in w a r n in i s y s te m .
