AB  - Children  with  serious  illness  or  injury  with  the  potential  for  rapid  deterioration  invariably  require  close  observation  to  detect  changes  in  function  or  state.  Careful  bedside  assessment  provides  the  basis  for  appropriate  triage  and  early  awareness  of  clinical  deterioration.  Electronic  monitoring  complements  this  assessment  by  providing  (1)  repetitive  or  continuous  assessment  that  does  not  disturb  the  patient,  (2)  a  means  for  detecting  the  effectiveness  of  interventions,  and  (3)  warning  signals  for  physiological  disturbances  that  permit  staff  to  observe  multiple  patients  simultaneously.  The  ideal  monitoring  system  has  been  described  by  many  as  one  that  is  accurate,  able  to  predict  deterioration,  reproducible  with  a  rapid  response,  operator  independent,  easy  to  use,  safe,  continuous,  inexpensive,  and  integrative  with  other  medical  systems.  To  date,  no  such  monitoring  currently  exists  in  clinical  use.
