You click every time the patient takes a breath and it tells you if the breathing is regular and fast enough. I think it came in with AMPDS 11.2, perhaps your control room is still on an older version? It’s part of the ProQA/AMPDS software… one of the buttons you click on the top row.

Temperature can cause a lot of problems in young children, be it an increase or decrease. I know it is hard to try and relax and I have been through this 3 times with my own children. Fortunately I was in St John the whole time and this gave me the skills to deal with most things that children throw at you you when they are ill. What you don't learn is that when you are dealng with your own child your stress levels rise so much because they are your children. If your child sleeps in a separate room to you I guess you have a baby intercom. This was invaluable to us as it gives you round the clock listening. Even now though my youngest is the only one at home (she is 8) if she rolls over in the night I am awake like a shot. I too cannot relax. It does get easier as they grow older. Its just the problems that change. my elest now both being teenagers. I hope this helps you in your plight. Kind regards TM Hi Danielle

He has a very nasty chest infection and on Saturday night just gone had great difficlty breathing and started to go an odd colour. Not the best thing at 3 months old! She did the correct thing and dialled 999 and the local ambulance crew arrived promply and got the wee lad stable. Off to the local A&E on blues and there he received tremendous treatment. Discharged at about 4am none the worse for the event. Wish I could say the same for my daughter and me. On the subject of febrile convulsions, we at St John do a course called Early Years which is aimed at carers who run play groups and pre school clubs. The course covers all childhood illnesses and is a great cousre to get booked on. Parents would find this of great benefit and their Local St John would be only too happy to point them in the direction of a course being held loclly. Finally to all those at the LAS and Mark you and your team are counted in this, have a great Christmas and New Year. Regards TM Hi all

What's the problem - tell me exactly what happened? " My baby stopped breathing!!!! I think he's having a fit or something!!!" Sure enough, 2 year old was talking although still drowsy by time crew arrived on scene - parents confirmed the usual 'he's not been well all day' scenario while waiting for crew and said never had fit before. Ho hum, another satisfied customer. I had a ?febrile convulsion today - first ever, dad sobbing on the phone, mum in the background sounding a bit calmer but still worried.
