Pediatric Vital Signs Calculator

The pediatric vital signs calculator provides a quick list of the normal values of the most common vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and temperature) based on the pediatric patient age.

The patient populations that this tool serves are:

■ Neonate (<1 kg);

■ Neonate (3 kg);

■ Infant (1 – 12 months);

■ 1 – 2 years;

■ 3 – 5 years;

■ 6 – 9 years;

■ 10 – 11 years;

■ 12 – 15 years.

It is important to monitor vital signs in pediatric patients and unlike for adults, these values vary widely with age. The values provided by this calculator are according to the PALS 2015 guidelines.

Beside heart and respiration rate, systolic and diastolic pressure and temperature, in some health settings, pulse oximetry (SPO₂) is also monitored although is does not class as a vital sign.
