AB Respiratory  disorders  are  potentially  life-threatening  and  must  be  identified  and  treated  rapidly.Certain  physiologic  differences  make  pediatric  patients  more  at  risk  of  respiratory  failure  than  adults.Conduct  patient  assessment  in  a  calm,  efficient  manner,  attempting  to  localize  the  underlying  source  of  distress.Initial  treatment  may  be  required  for  stabilization  before  a  complete  history  and  physical  examination  can  be  performed.Patient  appearance  and  clinical  status  always  supersede  lab  values  and  imaging.
