- W2012251694 abstract "<h3>Background</h3> GPs are advised to measure vital signs in children presenting with acute infections. Current evidence supports the value of GPs9 overall assessment in determining how unwell a child is, but the additional benefit of measuring vital signs is not known. <h3>Aim</h3> To describe the vital signs and clinical features that GPs use to assess children (aged <5 years) with acute infections. <h3>Design of study</h3> Questionnaire survey. <h3>Setting</h3> All 210 GP principals working within a 10 mile radius of Oxford, UK. <h3>Method</h3> Data were collected on reported frequency, methods, and utility of measuring vital signs. Description of clinical features was used to assess the overall severity of illness. <h3>Results</h3> One hundred and sixty-two (77%) GPs responded. Half (54%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 47 to 62) measured temperature at least weekly, compared to pulse (21%, 95% CI = 15 to 27), and respiratory rates (17%, 95% CI = 11 to 23). Almost half of GPs (77, 48%) never measured capillary refill time. Temperature was measured most frequently using electronic aural thermometers (131/152; 86%); auscultation or counting were used for pulse and respiratory rates. A minority used pulse oximeters to assess respiratory status (30/151, 20%). GPs9 thresholds for tachypnoea were similar to published values, but there was no consensus on the threshold of tachycardia. Observations of behaviour and activity were considered more useful than vital signs in assessing severity of illness. <h3>Conclusion</h3> Vital signs are uncommonly measured in children in general practice and are considered less useful than observation in assessing the severity of illness. If measurement of vital signs is to become part of standard practice, the issues of inaccurate measurement and diagnostic value need to be addressed urgently." @default.
