Vital signs including heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate (including work of breathing), oxygen saturation levels and temperature should only be checked and interpreted if you are trained to do so as part of your role. These can also be checked from the medical records available to see trends in vital signs over the previous hours and days which can provide an early sign of complications and determine wether the patient is suitable for participation in rehabilitation, and guide treatment options.
NOTE: Signs of Sepsis (Blood Infection):
- A fever above 101°F (38°C) or a temperature below 96.8°F (36°C)
- Resting heart rate higher than 90 beats per minute,
- Breathing rate higher than 20 breaths per minute.
