Chapter 5 Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 2 Identify the components of vital signs. Describe the methods to obtain a breathing rate. Describe the methods to obtain a pulse rate. Identify the information obtained when assessing a patient’s pulse. Identify normal and abnormal capillary refill. Objectives (1 of 4)

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 3 Describe the methods to assess the pupils. Describe the methods to assess blood pressure. Identify the components of the SAMPLE history. State the importance of accurately reporting and recording the baseline vital signs. Objectives (2 of 4)

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 4 Discuss the need to search for additional medical identification. Explain the value of performing the baseline vital signs. Explain the importance of obtaining a SAMPLE history. Demonstrate the skills associated with obtaining a pulse. Objectives (3 of 4)

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 5 Demonstrate the skills associated with assessing the skin color, temperature, condition, and capillary refill. Demonstrate the skills associated with obtaining blood pressure. Demonstrate the skills that should be used to obtain information from the patient, family, or bystanders at the scene. Objectives (4 of 4)

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 6 Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History Assessment is the most complex skill OEC technicians learn. During assessment you will: –Gather key information. –Evaluate the patient. –Learn the history. –Learn about the patient’s overall health.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 7 Gathering Key Patient Information Obtain the patient’s name. Note the age, gender, and race. Look for identification if the patient is unconscious.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 8 Chief Complaint The major sign and/or symptom reported by the patient Symptoms –Problems or feelings a patient reports Signs –Conditions that can be seen, heard, felt, smelled, or measured

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 9 Baseline Vital Signs (1 of 3) Key signs used to evaluate a patient’s condition First set is known as baseline vital signs. Repeated vital signs are compared to the baseline.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 10 Baseline Vital Signs (2 of 3) Vital signs always include: –Respirations –Pulse –Blood pressure

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 11 Baseline Vital Signs (3 of 3) Other key indicators include: –Skin temperature and condition in adults –Capillary refill time in children –Pupils –Level of consciousness

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 12 Respirations Rate –Number of breaths in 30 seconds x 2 Quality –Character of breathing Rhythm –Regular or irregular Effort –Normal or labored Noisy respiration –Normal, stridor, wheezing, snoring, gurgling Depth –Shallow or deep

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 13 Respiratory Rates Adults12 to 20 breaths/min Children15 to 30 breaths/min Infants25 to 50 breaths/min

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 14 Pulse (1 of 3)

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 15 Pulse (2 of 3)

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 16 Pulse (3 of 3) Rate –Number of beats in 30 seconds x 2 Strength –Bounding, strong, or weak (thready) Regularity –Regular or irregular

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 17 Normal Ranges for Pulse Rate Adults60 to 100 beats/min Children80 to 100 beats/min Toddlers100 to 120 beats/min Newborns120 to 140 beats/min

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 18 The Skin Color –Pink, pale, blue, red, or yellow Temperature –Warm, hot, or cool Moisture –Dry, moist, or wet

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 19 Capillary Refill Evaluates the ability of the circulatory system to restore blood to the capillary system (perfusion). Tested by depressing the patient’s fingertip and looking for return of blood.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 20 Capillary Refill A delayed reaction is normal in patients with cold extremities. Can also be performed by blanching skin with firm fingertip pressure.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 21 Blood Pressure Blood pressure is a vital sign. A drop in blood pressure may indicate: –Loss of blood –Loss of vascular tone –Cardiac pumping problem Blood pressure should be measured in all patients older than 3 years.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 22 Measuring Blood Pressure Diastolic –Pressure during relaxing phase of the heart’s cycle Systolic –Pressure during contraction Measured as millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) Recorded as systolic/diastolic

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 23 Blood Pressure Equipment

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 24 Auscultation of Blood Pressure (1 of 2) Place cuff on patient's arm. Palpate brachial artery and place stethoscope. Inflate cuff until you no longer hear pulse sounds. Continue pumping to increase pressure by an additional 20 mm Hg.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 25 Auscultation of Blood Pressure (2 of 2) Note the systolic and diastolic pressures as you let air escape slowly. As soon as pulse sounds stop, open the valve and release the air quickly.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 26 Palpation of Blood Pressure Secure cuff. Locate radial pulse. Inflate to 200 mm Hg. Release air until pulse is felt. Method only obtains systolic pressure.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 27 Normal Ranges of Blood Pressure Adults100 to 140 mm Hg (s) 60 to 90 mm Hg (d) Children (1 to 8 years) 70 to 100 mm Hg (s) Infants (Newborn to 1 year) 60 mm Hg (s)

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 28 Level of Responsiveness A - Alert V - Responsive to Verbal stimulus P - Responsive to Pain U - Unresponsive

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 29 Glasgow Coma Scale Motor Response Obeys command (6) Localizes Pain (5) Withdraw (4) Flexion (3) Extension (2) None (1) Total 3-15 Eye Opening Spontaneous (4) To Voice (3) To Pain (2) None (1) Verbal Response Oriented (5) Confused (4) Inappropriate Words (3) Incomprehensible Words (2) None (1)

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 30 Abnormal Pupil Reactions Fixed with no reaction to light Dilate with light and constrict without light React sluggishly Unequal in size Unequal with light or when light is removed

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 31 Pupil Assessment P - Pupils E - Equal A - And R - Round R - Regular in size L - React to Light

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 32 Reassessment of Vital Signs Reassess stable patients every 15 minutes. Reassess unstable patients every 5 minutes.

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 33 Obtaining a SAMPLE History (1 of 2) S: Signs and Symptoms –What signs and symptoms occurred at onset? A: Allergies –Is the patient allergic to medications, foods, or other? M: Medications –What medications is the patient taking?

Chapter 5: Baseline Vital Signs and SAMPLE History 34 Obtaining a SAMPLE History (2 of 2) P: Pertinent past history –Does the patient have any medical history? L: Last oral intake –When did the patient last eat or drink? E: Events leading to injury or illness –What events led to this incident?
