13. Encourage the patient to drink fluids or administerintravenous fluidsif oral intake is inadequate. Monitorurineoutput for signs ofdehydration. Fever increasesfluid lossthrough sweating and evaporation. Maintaining hydration supports thermoregulation and prevents complications likehypovolemia. 14. Observe for...
The second role of vital signs in the stable symptomatic patient is to provide warning that the patient is sicker than he or she appears. For example, the presence of hypotension in a well-appearing patient thought to have pyelonephritis may be an indication of sepsis or hypovolemia. For vital...
re orthostatic vital signs useful in detecting dehydration and hypovolemia in adults? Evidence-Based Answer: Heart rate is the only orthostatic vital sign (OVS) that correlates with dehydration (change in total free water) foradult patients in the emergency department (ED) (SOR: B, prospective ...
vital signsindexThis study evaluated the correlation between vital signs and hemoperitoneum and the association between abnormal vital signs and tubal rupture. With the use of a retrospective case-control design, the initial heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate/systolic blood pressure ...

Introduction Wearable Health Devices (WHDs) are an emerging technology that enables continuous ambulatory monitoring of human vital signs during daily life (during work, at home, during sport ...
It showed that continuous monitoring of vital signs using a wearable device could predict clinical deterioration accurately and reduce the time to recognise potential clinical deterioration in stable ED patients with fever. Our results support the application of a wearable device in clinical settings to...
Wearable Health Devices (WHDs) are an emerging technology that enables continuous ambulatory monitoring of human vital signs during daily life (during work, at home, during sport activities, etc.) or in a clinical environment, with the advantage of minimizing discomfort and interference with normal...
