Abstract: Pediatric early warning system（PEWS）monitors the children's temperature，blood pressure，heart rate，respiration，consciousness，oxygen saturation and various physiological indicators to form a score，which helps medical staff to identify the changes of children's condition in the early stage，with high sensitivity and specificity. In addition，PEWS is of great help in the transportation of children under emergent conditions or with critical illness. PEWS application can greatly reduce the risk of in-hospital and out-of-hospital transport，optimize the allocation of medical staff，and promote the early identification and treatment of children with serious conditions. However，the lack of standard PEWS and related guidelines，as well as the limited development of basic theories，can affect the consistency of the definition，implementation and effective evaluation of PEWS. Therefore，this article will review the development of PEWS and its application in emergency transport，so as to provide reference for improving the quality of emergency pediatric transport.
