In Pediatrics, several key parameters are measured to establish a baseline:
Height and Weight: Essential for tracking growth patterns. Head Circumference: Important for assessing brain development in infants and young children. Body Mass Index (BMI): Helps in identifying underweight, overweight, or obesity issues. Developmental Milestones: Key milestones such as sitting, walking, and talking are tracked to assess developmental progress. Vital Signs: Includes heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure.
