Vital Signs: Comprehensive Guide

Vital signs are measurable indicators of the body’s most essential physiological functions, including temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. They reflect how well the body’s vital organs—especially the heart, lungs, and circulatory system—are working to maintain life.

Vital Signs: Oxygen Saturation (O₂ Sat)

Oxygen saturation, or O₂ Sat, is an important vital sign that shows what percentage of a patient’s hemoglobin is carrying oxygen. Hemoglobin, found in red blood cells, picks up oxygen in the lungs and delivers it to the body’s tissues while carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled.

Vital Signs: Blood Pressure

Blood Pressure (BP) is the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of the arteries. It is typically measured as two values: systolic (pressure during heart contraction) and diastolic (pressure during heart relaxation). For example, a BP of 120/80 mmHg means a systolic pressure of 120 mmHg and diastolic of 80 mmHg.
