Sponsor's own description
Obtaining vital signs and blood pressure (BP) in particularly, as part of a pediatric Emergency Department (ED) patient triage is sometimes difficult and leads to many false negative results. The stress, noisy environment and lack of cooperation are only a few of the things that interfere with proper vital signs measurements. In the past decade, there has been a rapid growth in the presence of therapeutic clowns in hospitals, particularly in pediatric settings. The investigators speculate that the incorporation of a medical clown during the procedure of blood pressure measurement in the triage will shorten the procedure and decrease the number of attempts, making it much more efficient.
