State Standard 20) Accurately perform the components of patient assessment to identify and manage immediate life threatening illnesses and injuries within the scope of practice of the EMR for pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients, utilizing rubrics from textbooks, National HOSA guidelines, or clinical standards of practice. Include the following areas: a. Scene Size-up b. Primary Survey or Assessment c. History Taking d. Secondary Assessment e. Reassessment Temple College EMS Program

Objectives Students will be able to… Describe appropriate levels for each of the vital signs. Correctly perform a Vital Sign assessment on a partner. Temple College EMS Program

Vital Signs Vital signs are an outward clue to what is going on in the patient’s body Temple College EMS Program

Vital Signs Baseline Vital Signs provide a basis for comparison of later sets of VitalSigns Temple College EMS Program

Vital Signs It is important to monitor “trends” in Vital Signs rather than individual sets of Vital Signs Temple College EMS Program

Pulse Pulse Points Carotid Brachial Radial Femoral Popliteal Temple College EMS Program

Pulse Pulse Points Dorsal Pedal Posterior Tibial (Posterior and slightly inferior to medial Malleolus) Pulse Points Temple College EMS Program

Pulse Rate Adult Child Infant 60-80 Beats/minute 80-110 Beats/minute Temple College EMS Program

Pulse Rhythm Regular Irregular Temple College EMS Program

Pulse Quality Full Weak (Thready) Bounding Temple College EMS Program

Respirations Rate Adult Child 12-24 Resp/min 20-28 Resp/min Temple College EMS Program

Respirations Rate Infant 30-70 Resp/min @ birth 30 Resp/min @ 6 months Temple College EMS Program

Respirations Rhythm Regular Irregular Temple College EMS Program

Respiration Quality Full Deep Shallow Labored Noisy Temple College EMS Program

Blood Pressure Systolic - Pressure on the arterial wall when the heart contracts Diastolic - Pressure on the arterial wall when the heart is at rest Temple College EMS Program

Blood Pressure Auscultated BP - Listening for both the systolic and diastolic values Palpated BP - Feeling for the systolic pressure Temple College EMS Program

Auscultated Blood Pressure Adult Male 100+ Age (up to 50) 80 Female 90 + Age (up to 50 Temple College EMS Program

Auscultated Blood Pressure Child 94 - 100 56 - 64 Temple College EMS Program

Auscultated Blood Pressure Infant At Birth 60 - 80 40 - 76 At 6 Months 90 40-76 Temple College EMS Program

Estimating Blood Pressure Radial Pulse Present? >80 Systolic Temple College EMS Program

Estimating Blood Pressure Femoral Pulse Present? >70 Systolic <80 Systolic Temple College EMS Program

Estimating Blood Pressure Carotid Pulse Present? >60 Systolic <70 Systolic Temple College EMS Program

Vital Signs DO NOT TREAT NUMBERS - - - - - - TREAT PEOPLE!!!! Temple College EMS Program

Activity With a partner practice taking a complete set of vital signs (pulse, respiratory rate, temperature, blood pressure) Determine if your partners vitals are normal or abnormal. ***Have we met all our objectives?**** Once finished you will begin to work on your vital sign check off activity individually.
