Thank you for your comment. This depends on your local escalation policy and the degree of concern from the family and the staff looking after the child. We know that many children can have a PEWs of 1 to 2 but there is significant concern about their acute presentation or background health needs. Therefore, they may need repeat obs in 15 minutes with clinical assessment. We suggest you speak to your local team.
