3. 1 Introduction to Vital Signs Basic Metrics Vital signs are measurements of the body’s most basic functions.
They include blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, and body temperature.
These measurements are crucial for assessing overall health.
Understanding them helps in early detection of medical conditions.

4. 2 Blood Pressure Pressure Force Blood pressure is the amount of force your blood uses to get through your arteries.
It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
Blood pressure readings consist of two figures: Systolic and Diastolic.
The device used to measure blood pressure is called a sphygmomanometer.

5. 3 Normal Blood Pressure Healthy Range Blood pressure numbers less than 120/80 mm Hg are considered normal.
This range indicates that your heart and arteries are functioning properly.
Maintaining normal blood pressure reduces the risk of heart disease.
It also decreases the chances of stroke and other complications.

6. 4 Elevated Blood Pressure Slightly High Elevated blood pressure ranges from 120 to 129 systolic and less than 80 diastolic.
It is considered an early warning sign for hypertension.
Lifestyle changes can help manage elevated blood pressure.
Regular monitoring is essential to prevent progression to hypertension.

7. 5 Hypertension Stage 1 Mild High Pressure Hypertension Stage 1 ranges from 130 to 139 systolic or 80 to 89 diastolic.
It indicates a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Medical intervention may be required to manage this condition.
Lifestyle modifications are crucial for controlling blood pressure.

8. 6 Hypertension Stage 2 Severe High Pressure Hypertension Stage 2 is when blood pressure is 140/90 mm Hg or higher.
This stage requires immediate medical attention and treatment.
There is a significant increase in the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Ongoing management and medication may be necessary.

9. 7 Hypertensive Crisis Critical Condition Blood pressure readings of 180/120 mm Hg or higher require emergency care.
This condition is known as hypertensive crisis.
Prompt medical intervention is crucial to prevent organ damage.
Contact a healthcare professional immediately if readings are in this range.

10. 8 Pulse Rate Heart Beats Pulse rate, or heart rate, measures the number of heartbeats per minute.
A normal resting heart rate is between 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Heart rate over 100 beats per minute at rest is called tachycardia.
Heart rate below 60 beats per minute at rest is termed bradycardia.

11. 9 Measuring Pulse Rate Checking Beats Pulse rate can be measured using the radial artery in the wrist.
It can also be measured using the carotid artery in the neck.
Counting the pulses for a minute gives the heart rate.
Pulse rate fluctuates due to exercise, illness, injury, and emotions.

12. 10 Respiration Rate Breathing Measure Respiration rate is the number of breaths taken per minute.
It is usually measured when a person is at rest.
Count the number of chest rises to measure breaths per minute.
Normal respiration rate for adults at rest is 12 to 16 breaths per minute.

13. 11 Abnormal Respiration Rates Irregular Breaths A respiration rate higher than 20 breaths per minute is termed tachypnea.
A respiration rate lower than 12 breaths per minute is termed bradypnea.
Abnormal respiration rates may indicate underlying health issues.
Consult a healthcare provider if rates are consistently abnormal.

14. 12 Conclusion Key Takeaways Vital signs are essential indicators of health.
Regular monitoring helps in early detection of health issues.
Understanding normal and abnormal ranges is crucial.
Consult healthcare professionals for accurate assessment and guidance.
