* Body temperature
* Heart rate
* Respiratory rate
* Blood pressure
* Pulse oxygenation
These measurements can provide important information about a person's health and can help to identify potential problems.
Body temperature is a measure of the heat produced by the body. It is typically taken orally, but it can also be taken rectally or under the arm. Normal body temperature ranges from 97.6°F to 99.6°F (36.5°C to 37.5°C).
Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute. It is typically taken by feeling the pulse at the wrist or neck. Normal heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute for adults.
Respiratory rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute. It is typically taken by watching the chest rise and fall. Normal respiratory rate ranges from 12 to 20 breaths per minute for adults.
Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries. It is typically taken on the arm using a sphygmomanometer. Normal blood pressure ranges from 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg for adults.
Pulse oxygenation is the percentage of oxygen in the blood. It is typically taken using a pulse oximeter, which is a small device that clips onto the finger. Normal pulse oxygenation levels range from 95% to 100%.
Vital signs can be affected by a variety of factors, including age, sex, activity level, and health conditions. It is important to know what your normal vital signs are so that you can identify any changes that may indicate a potential health problem.
