Retractions, costal and sternal:
History and physical examination
(Handbook of Signs & Symptoms (Third Edition))
If the child’s condition permits, ask his parents about his medical history. Was he born prematurely? Was he born with a low birth weight? Was the delivery complicated? Ask about recent signs of an upper respiratory tract infection, such as a runny nose, a cough, and a low-grade fever. How often has the child had respiratory problems during the past year? Does he participate in a day care program or have school-aged siblings? Has he been in contact with anyone who has had a cold, the flu, or other respiratory ailments? Did he ever have respiratory syncytial virus? Did he aspirate food, liquid, or a foreign body? Inquire about a personal or family history of allergies or asthma.

Retractions, costal and sternal:
Physical assessment
(Signs & Symptoms: A 2-in-1 Reference for Nurses)
If the child isn’t in severe distress, complete a cardiopulmonary assessment. If you haven’t already done so, take the child’s vital signs. Include the child’s temperature in your assessment because a fever may signal a respiratory infection.

History and physical examination
(Nursing: Interpreting Signs and Symptoms)
If the child's condition permits, ask his parents about his medical history. Was he born prematurely? Was he born with a low birth weight? Was the delivery complicated? Ask about recent signs of an upper respiratory tract infection, such as runny nose, cough, and low-grade fever. How often has the child had respiratory problems during the past year? Does he participate in a day care program or have school-aged siblings? Has he been in contact with anyone who has had a cold, the flu, or other respiratory ailments? Did he ever have respiratory syncytial virus? Did he aspirate food, liquid, or a foreign body? Inquire about a personal or family history of allergies or asthma.
Observe the depth and location of the retractions. Also, note the rate, depth, and quality of respirations. Look for accessory muscle use, nasal flaring during inspiration, or grunting during expiration. If the child has a cough, record its characteristics as well as the color, consistency, amount, and odor of any sputum. Note whether the child appears restless or lethargic. Finally, auscultate the child's lungs to detect abnormal breath sounds. (See Observing retractions, page 540.)
