Recognising clinical deterioration in infants and young children requires careful observation and accurate scoring — but remembering age-specific vital sign ranges and escalation thresholds can feel challenging, especially in busy clinical environments.

This reference card provides a clear guide to the Paediatric Early Warning Score (EWS) for patients aged 0–11 months and 1–4 years, helping you quickly calculate scores, identify risk, and respond appropriately to changes in a child’s condition.

Whether you're completing observations on placement, working in paediatric settings, or preparing for clinical exams, this card supports confident and timely clinical decision-making.
