What Are the Challenges in Monitoring Vital Signs in Pediatric Patients?
Monitoring vital signs in pediatric patients comes with several challenges:
Size and Fit: Pediatric patients, especially neonates, require appropriately sized sensors and cuffs to ensure accurate readings. Movement: Children are often active, and excessive movement can lead to erroneous readings. Compliance: Young children may be uncooperative or fearful of medical devices, making it difficult to obtain consistent measurements.
