Bradyphrenia is a neurological term referring to the slowness of thought common to many disorders of the brain.
Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate below the normal range for age (table 1). Bradycardia is caused by intrinsic dysfunction or injury to the heart's conduction system or by extrinsic factors acting on a normal heart and its conduction system. Children who have bradycardia with poor perfusion or shock need immediate medical attention (algorithm 1).
