All the necessary measurements of vital signs are carried out at the patient\u2019s home or place of residence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vital signs measurements include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Blood pressure measurement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Oxymetry<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Heart beats\/pulse measurement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Blood sugar measurement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Temperature<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Breaths\/ auditory examination with a stethoscope<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The above vital signs measurements are recorded by an experienced and registered nurse.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The measurement and recording of a vital sign shall be as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temperature: Normal body temperature ranges from 36\u00b0C to 37.4 \u00b0C. Temperature can be measured in the mouth (the thermometer is placed under the tongue), under the armpit, in the ear, on the forehead and in the rectum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from analogue and digital thermometers, infrared temperature measurement sensors can be used to measure temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breaths. In healthy adults, and under normal conditions, the number of breaths is 16-20 per minute. The rhythm, frequency and depth of breaths are evaluated in order to assess respiratory function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heartbeats. The elements of the arterial pulse that are assessed are frequency, rhythm and range of the pulse. The normal heart rhythm is sinus rhythm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arterial Pressure. Systolic pressure must not exceed 120 mmHg and systolic pressure 80 mmHg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expected duration of monitoring and recording of vital signs varies depending on various factors, such as the patient&#8217;s cooperation with the nurse. The whole process usually lasts a few minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of monitoring and recording vital signs is generally easy, fast and done responsibly by experienced nurses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, it is unlikely to cause the patient pain while monitoring and recording vital signs. Under no circumstances will unnecessary discomfort be caused to the patient<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a rule, monitoring and recording vital signs are carried out in order to immediately inform the treating physician in cases of deviations in the values of vital signs from the normal range of values. Vital signs are always monitored and recorded either following the doctor\u2019s orders or due to a nursing assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a rule, the recording of vital signs enables the attending physician to safely determine the patient\u2019s further treatment. This process is beneficial because it contributes to the diagnosis, as far as possible, to the identification of the exact problem the patient is facing and assists in the determination of the best possible treatment by the attending physician.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573538891982{margin-top: -40px !important;margin-bottom: 10vh !important;}&#8221; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; row_reverse_mobile=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1497520246521{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"class_list":["post-9347","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maltezosnfu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maltezosnfu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maltezosnfu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltezosnfu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltezosnfu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9347"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltezosnfu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9481,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltezosnfu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9347\/revisions\/9481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maltezosnfu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
