Respond to all observations in the red and orange zones Respond if an observation is deteriorating Mandatory emergency call for: Any observations in the red zone, OR Airway obstruction or severe stridor Apnoea or cyanosis on oxygen, or severe respiratory distress, or SpO2 or RR in red zone Cardiac or respiratory arrest, or HR or BP in red zone Sudden deterioration in conscious state or seizures Staff are very worried about the clinical state of the child If more than 2 observations in the Orange zone, call a doctor to review, or call a MET
