Vital Signs ( by Vijay Sir )

                                                                Vital Signs

   

Vital Signs :-

               Vital signs are measurement of the body's most basic function. The four mainly vital signs routinely by health care and medical professionals provider including the  following:

• Body Temperature 
• Pulse Rate 
• Respiratory Rate

    Blood Pressure ( Blood pressure is not considered a vital sign. But is often measured along with the vital signs.)

 

                                                            

                        BODY TEMPERATURE

Body Temperature :-

                    The normal body temperature of a person various depending on gender ,food  and  fluid consumption , time of day .

Normal Value -                

                Normal body temperature can range from 36.5 - 37.5'c or 97.7 - 99.5'f for a health adults.

Routes - 

                 - By Mouth

                 - By Axillary

                 - By Skin

                    Body temperature may be abnormal due to fever (high temperature) and if decrease the normal value called hypothermia.

 

                                                                                                 RESPIRATION RATE

Respiration Rate :-

                    The respiration rate is the number of breath a person take per minutes . The rate is usually measured when a person is at rest and simply involves counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting  how many time the chest rises.

Normal Value :-

                Normal respiration rates for an adult person at rest range from 12 - 16 breaths per minutes .Normal respiration rates may increase with fever , illness and other medical conditions .

                                                                                                       PULSE RATE

Pulse Rate :-

             The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate , or the number of times the heart beats per minutes. 

Normal value :-

               The normal pulse for healthy adults range from 60 - 100 beats per minutes. The pulse rate may increase , illness , injury and emotions. 

                                                                   

                             Blood Pressure

Blood Pressure :-

                 Blood Pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls during contractions of the heart. Two numbers are recorded when measuring blood pressure . The higher number or systolic pressure refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart is at rest and is filling with blood . Both the systolic and diastolic pressure record as "mm Hg" (millimetre of mercury ) . 

                 The high blood pressure or hypertension , directly increase the risk of heart attack , heart failure and stroke .

Normal Value :-

                 Normal blood pressure systolic less than 120 and diastolic of less than 80 (120/80 mm/Hg)
