Vital Signs - What Matters
In this episode, Don, Ben, Adyn, and Will discuss several of the common vital signs we are given or can calculate on our patients in primarily emergency medicine. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), temperature, SpO2/FiO2 Ratios, Shock Index are just a few that are discussed in this episode.
Mean Arterial Pressure MAP = ( DBP +DBP +SBP ) / 3
Shock Index (SI) = Heart Rate / SBP
Urine Output 0.5 - 1 cc/kg/hr
Temp 96.8 F = 36.0 C and 100.4 F = 38 C
