Vital signs are the most fundamental clinical measurements that provide critical information about a patient's health status. The primary vital signs include:
- Body Temperature: Indicates the body's ability to generate and get rid of heat. - Pulse Rate: Reflects the heart rate and rhythm. - Respiratory Rate: Measures the number of breaths per minute. - Blood Pressure: Assesses the force of blood against the walls of arteries. - Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Indicates the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen.
