• Glasgow Coma Scale (from 2 years)

  Eye opening, verbal and motor response – total 3–15, E V M documented individually

• Glasgow Coma Scale (under 2 years)

  Modified GCS for infants and young children according to AWMF 024-018 – sum 3–15

• PEWS – Pediatric Early Warning Score (Brighton)

  Behavior, circulation, respiration 0–3 points each plus additional points – early warning score according to Monaghan 2005

• Bedside PEWS (Parshuram)

  Seven items with age-dependent thresholds for heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure – 0–26 points, threshold 8

• Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS)

  Weight, airway, blood pressure, consciousness, wound, skeleton – each +2/+1/−1, total −6 to +12

• Pediatric BIG Score

  Base deficit + 2.5 × INR + (15 − GCS) – mortality after trauma (Borgman 2011)

• SIPA – Shock Index Pediatric Age-Adjusted

  Heart rate ÷ systolic blood pressure with age-dependent cutoffs 1.22 / 1.0 / 0.9 (Acker 2015)

• Shock Index

  Heart rate ÷ systolic blood pressure – with age-adjusted classification (SIPA) in 4–16-year-olds

• GCS-Pupils Score

  Glasgow Coma Scale minus number of non-reactive pupils – extended severity index (Brennan 2018)

• pSOFA

  Pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment: six organ systems, 0–4 points each, with age-dependent MAP and creatinine thresholds

• PELOD-2

  Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score 2: ten variables from five organ systems, 0–33 points, with mortality model

• PIM 3 – Paediatric Index of Mortality 3

  Probability of death on admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (Straney 2013)

• PRISM III

  Pediatric Risk of Mortality III: 17 physiological variables with age-dependent limits, 0–74 points

• Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS)

  Dopamine + dobutamine + 100 × epinephrine + 100 × norepinephrine + 10 × milrinone + 10 000 × vasopressin

• Lund-Browder burn area

  Burned body surface area in % by region and age (AWMF 006-128, appendix) – with fluid requirement

• Pediatric Burn TBSA

  Burned body surface area in % from the palm rule or direct estimate – with classification according to AWMF 006-128

• Pediatric burn fluid calculation

  Modified Parkland formula for children (3–4 ml/kg per % TBSA burned) plus maintenance requirement according to AWMF 006-128

• ETT size / tube size by age and weight

  Tube internal diameter uncuffed (Cole) and cuffed (Khine, Motoyama) with insertion depth

• ETT depth / tube depth

  Insertion depth from the lip: 3 × inner diameter, age/2 + 12 and Tochen formula for newborns

• Laryngeal mask size

  Laryngeal mask size by body weight (1 to 5)

• Weight estimation by body length and age

  Weight from length via the median of the WHO/CDC references; APLS age formulas for comparison

• Defibrillation energy by weight

  Joules for defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion according to ERC 2021 and AHA 2020
