Recognising the seriously ill child and paediatric assessment triangle — branching viva

A four-year-old child presents to a rural district emergency department with worsening respiratory, circulatory and neurological illness. The examiner releases information in stages. The candidate must describe the physiology before naming a cause, treat threats during age-adapted ABCDE, define the expected response, reassess, escalate and hand over safely.
