*”vital signs” are a group of the 4 to 6 most important signs that indicate the status of the body’s vital (life-sustaining) functions*
.
(these measurements are taken to help assess the general physical health of a person, give clues to possible diseases, and show progress toward recovery)
(the normal ranges for a person’s vital signs vary with ‘age’, ‘weight’, ‘gender’, and ‘overall health’)
(there are 4 primary vital signs: ‘body temperature’, ‘blood pressure’, ‘pulse’ (aka ‘heart rate’), and ‘breathing rate’ (aka ‘respiratory rate’), often notated as ‘BT’, ‘BP’, ‘HR’, and ‘RR’)
(however, depending on the clinical setting, the vital signs may include other measurements called the “fifth vital sign” or “sixth vital sign”)
(“vital signs” are recorded using the “LOINC internationally accepted standard coding system”)
(early warning scores have been proposed that combine the individual values of vital signs into a single score)
(this was done in recognition that deteriorating vital signs often precede “cardiac arrest” and/or admission to the “intensive care unit”)
.
(used appropriately, a ‘rapid response team’ can assess/treat a ‘deteriorating patient’ + prevent ‘adverse outcomes’)
