What are the vital signs?
Oxygen saturation, temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure
Why Vital signs?
Helps determine need for immediate intervention, urgent reassessment, transfer of care (Blood pressure and respiration rate at all meetings)
When vital signs?
Antenatal and postpartum visits, labour assessments, birth, in emergencies repeat frequently
Tell about temperature?
Normal range 36-37.5, 38 is fever. Reasons: dehydration, infection, exercise, stress thyroid disorder.
Tell about oxygen saturation?
Should ne 95-100 SPO2 AKA O2Sat, Pulse Oxymeter, SAT monitor
Where to take heart rate? Normal range?
Radial - in wrist below thumb (EASIEST), Bracheal - in antecubital foss (inside dip of elbow), Carotid- in neck, femoral - where leg and groin meet, Pedal - on top of foot. Normal range 60-89 ,could be 100 in labour.
Tell about respiration rate?
Before counting make sure they can talk and breath. Take when not aware for 30-60 seconds, One count cycle full breath in and out. May be elevated dehydtration, anxiety, hypovolemia, infection, asthma 12-16 breaths per minute
What is systolic and diastolic and normal range?
Systolic (TOP) - pressure in the arteries when the hear beats and pushes blood out into the body normal 90-140
Diastolic (BOTTOM) the pressure in teh artiers when the hear rests between beats normal 60-90
Hypertenstion can result from stress, smoking, salt intake.
Worry over 140/90
How to take blood pressure?
Appropriate size cuff, automatic or manual
Equipment: Stethescope and sphygmomanometer
Position, sitting, standing, lying down
Which arm: no hx blood clots etc
One step: pump until you do not hear pulse then increase 20
Two step: Feel for pulse then increase 20
Extend arm, supported and relaxed
Palpate brachial artery
Place arrow/ marker 2-5cm above the artery and close velcro
Fit: slide two fingers under, should not be too loose or too tight, or may get inaccurate BP
Make sure you can see sphygmomanometer
Place stethoscope over brachial artery
Close the valve on the pump and inflate until you do not hear the brachial artery anymore
Let it drop slowly
Listen for first sound – systolic
Listen for when the sound stops – diastolic
What are some practical steps around trauma informed care?
- Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and
understands potential paths for recovery; - Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma
in clients, families, staff, and others; - Responds by fully integrating knowledge
about trauma into policies, procedures, and
practices; and - Seeks to actively resist retraumatization.
6 principles:
- Safety
- Trustworthiness and transparency
- Peer support
- Collaboration and mutuality
- Empowerment, voice, and choice
- Cultural, historical, and gender issues
