Overview
Regularly measuring and recording clinical observations such as vital signs and other physiological indicators is fundamentally necessary for assessing patients and identifying any clinical deterioration.
OBJECTIVE:
To offer guidance to medical staff on:
- Recording clinical observations.
- Recognizing normal variations and identifying when they change, indicating worsening symptoms or conditions.
- Understanding the physiological and anatomical basis for these variations.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
Clinical observations might encompass:
- estimating hemoglobin-oxygen saturation (spo2, pulse oximetry)
- oxygen delivery
- respiratory rate (rr)
- signs of respiratory distress
- heart/pulse rate (hr/pr)
- blood pressure (bp) – systolic, diastolic, and mean
- temperature
- level of consciousness
- pain assessment
- in specific clinical scenarios, additional observations (e.g., neurological or neurovascular observations) may be necessary.
