SIRS criteria for pediatric patients

I recently handed out the Physician Documentation Improvement Pocket Guides to my docs and my Pediatricians asked if there was specific criteria for SIRS in the pediatric population. Temp and increased WBC and the increase in bands probably stays the same, but the increase in HR >90 or RR>20 would obviously be different. What information can I give them. Is there a different pocket guide for pediatricians? And if not, what criteria changes are there for their documentation?
