Vital Signs (Per Wilkins) Adult
1. Heart Rate (HR) Pulse Rate
2. Respiratory Rate (RR)
3. Blood Pressure
4. Pulse Ox
- Heart Rate: 60-100 Beats/Minute
- Respiratory Rate: 12-20 Breaths/Minute
- Blood Pressure: 120 systolic/80 diastolic (MMHG)=Millimeters of Mercury (Median)
- Pulse Ox: >92% (per most hospital policies)
Volume-Pressure (V-P) Conversion Factors
- E Cylinder: 622.0 L / 2200 psi = 0.28
- H Cylinder: 6900.0 L / 2200 psi = 3.14
Equation to Determine: How much time there is of O2 in a Cylinder. Using Tank Pressure * V-P Factor / Liter Flow. Example: 2000 psi, E cylinder, 3 L Flow
2000 psi * .28 Factor= 560
560 / 3 L Flow = 186.66
186.66 / 60 min = 3.11
.11 min * 60 sec = 6.6
Answer is 3 hours and 6 minutes
Room Air Oxygen %
Cylinder Air Oxygen % per Liter for Nasal Canula (NC)
- Room Air has 2% Oxygen
- Cylinder Air for 1L has 24% Oxygen For NC
*For every liter of air in Cylinder the Oxygen % Increases by 4% - Cylinder Air for 2L has 28% Oxygen NC
- Cylinder Air for 3L has 32% Oxygen NC
- Cylinder Air for 4L has 36% Oxygen NC
Reference Intervals for CBC
Red Blood Cell Count
Wilkins: x 10^6/uL (x10^12/L)
Males: 4.20 - 6.00
Females: 3.80 - 5.20
Eagan: x 10^6/mcL
Males: 4.4 - 5.9
Females: 3.8 - 5.2
Red Blood Cells carry O2. If patient has low RBC count it could mean he/she is anemic
Reference Intervals for CBC
White Blood Cell Count
Wilkins: x 10^3/uL (x10^9/L)
Both: 4.0 - 11.0
White Blood Cells fight off infection. An increase in WBC count could mean patient is fighting an infection
Reference Intervals for CBC
Hemoglobin (Hb)
Wilkins: g/dL (g/L)
Males: 13.5 - 18.0 (135-180)
Females: 12.0 - 15.0 (120-150)
Egan: g/dL
Males: 13.3 - 17.7
Females: 11.7 - 15.7
Main component of RBC. Protein that carries oxygen to the tissues. Helps maintain acid-base balance by acting as a buffer and by carrying CO2 from tissues to the lungs
Reference Intervals for CBC
Hematocrit (Hct)
Wilkins: % (L/L)
Males: 40 - 54 (0.40-0.54)
Females: 35 - 49 (0.35-0.49)
Egan:
Males: 40% - 52%
Females: 35% - 47%
WBC count: 3.9 - 11.7 x 10^3/mcL
Hct is the ratio of RBC volume to whole blood. A low Hct occurs with anemia and a high Hct with polycythemia. Hct also reflects patient’s hydration status. High Hct is a sign of dehydration
Reference Intervals for CBC
Platelet Count
Wilkins: x 10^3/uL (x10^9/L)
Both: 150 - 450
Egan: x 10^3/mcL
Both: 150 - 400
AKA thrombocytes. Abnormally low platelet count is called thrombocytopenia. The lower the platelet count, the more likely the patient will have problems with bleeding.
Reference Intervals for CBC
“Rule of Five” for RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit
Both Sexes
RBC: 5
Hemoglobin: 5 x 3 = 15 (Hb)
Hematocrit: 15 x 3 = 45 (HcT)
Reference Intervals for WBC
Segmented Neutrophils
Wilkins:
Relative: 50% -70%
Absolute: 1.5 - 7.5 x 10^3/uL (x10^9/L)
Egan:
Relative: 40% - 75%
Absolute: 1.8 - 6.8 x 10^9/L
Increased with bacterial infection and trauma; reduced with bone marrow diseases (critical value <1.0). Produced in the bone marrow
Reference Intervals for WBC
Eosinophils
Wilkins:
Relative: 1% - 3%
Absolute: 0 - 0.4 x 10^3/uL (x10^9/L)
Egan:
Relative: 0% - 6%
Absolute: 0 - 0.1 x 10^6/L
Increased with allergic reactions and parasitic infections
Reference Intervals for WBC
Basophils
Wilkins:
Relative: 0% - 1%
Absolute: 0 - 0.1 x 10^3/uL (x10^9/L)
Egan:
Relative: 0% - 1%
Absolute: 0 - 0.1 x 10^6/L
Increased with allergic reactions
Reference Intervals for WBC
Lymphocytes
Wilkins:
Relative: 20% - 45%
Absolute: 1.0 - 4.0 x 10^3/uL (x10^9/L)
Egan:
Relative: 20% - 45%
Absolute: 1.0 - 3.4 x 10^9/L
Increased with viral and other infections; reduced with immunodeficiency problems. Useful against viral, fungal, and tuberculosis infections. T cells involved in cell mediated immunity. B cells develop antibodies. Natural Killer (NK) cells 3rd type of lymphocytes.
