Biot's breathing
Biot's breathing is an abnormal breathing pattern characterized by deep inspiration followed by irregular breathing. The cause of Biot's breathing is damage to pons. The pons may be damaged as a result of stroke or herniation. Opioid toxicity can also implicate in Biot's breathing.

Herniation and stroke low likelihood. If I saw this patient I would listen to breaths, access sp02 and capnography, preform routine vitals and exams. Then update this post and I will see if I could be a assist in the child's care. EMT-here
