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
