Rib retractions 👇 Are a visible sign that a baby is having difficulty breathing. This occurs when the skin pulls in between or around the ribs with each breath, indicating that the baby is using extra muscles to breathe. This can be a sign of respiratory distress, often seen in conditions like RSV or the flu. When a baby struggles to breathe, their tiny bodies work harder, making these retractions noticeable. Recognising rib retractions is crucial for parents, as it signals the need for prompt

I ALWAYS want retractions to be evaluated. But how can parents decide where to take their children? SAME DAY PEDIATRICIAN / URGENT CARE ➡️ Mild subcostal retractions only ➡️Normal color, feeding okay ➡️ Respiratory rate appropriate for age ➡️ No nasal flaring or head bobbing ➡️ Baby settles when calm/asleep When retractions = ER now ➡️ Moderate to severe retractions ➡️ Multiple retraction sites (subcostal intercostal suprasternal) ➡️ Fast breathing that doesn’t improve when calm ➡️ Poor feeding
