TEMPLATE Vital signs (Vital signs)

TEMPLATE IDVital signs
ConceptVital signs
DescriptionA simple template containing only the most commonly used main data elements of Body temperature, Blood pressure, Body mass index, Height/Length, Body weight, Pulse/Heart beat, Respiration, and Pulse oximetry. Non-metric unit alternatives have been constrained out.
PurposeA simple template containing only the most commonly used main data elements of Body temperature, Blood pressure, Body mass index, Height/Length, Body weight, Pulse/Heart beat, Respiration, and Pulse oximetry. Non-metric unit alternatives have been constrained out.

vital_signs2vital_signs2: Interaction, contact or care event between a subject of care and healthcare provider(s).
Body temperatureBody temperature: A measurement of the body temperature, which is a surrogate for the core body temperature of the individual.
Data
Any eventAny event: Default, unspecified point in time or interval event which may be explicitly defined in a template or at run-time.
Data
TemperatureTemperature: The measured temperature.
0..100 °C
Blood pressureBlood pressure: The local measurement of arterial blood pressure which is a surrogate for arterial pressure in the systemic circulation.
Most commonly, use of the term 'blood pressure' refers to measurement of brachial artery pressure in the upper arm.
DataData: History Structural node.
Any eventAny event: Default, unspecified point in time or interval event which may be explicitly defined in a template or at run-time.
Data
SystolicSystolic: Peak systemic arterial blood pressure - measured in systolic or contraction phase of the heart cycle.
0..1000 mmHg
DiastolicDiastolic: Minimum systemic arterial blood pressure - measured in the diastolic or relaxation phase of the heart cycle.
0..1000 mmHg
Body mass indexBody mass index: Calculated measurement which compares a person's weight and height.
Body Mass Index is a calculated ratio describing how an individual's body weight relates to the weight that is regarded as normal, or desirable, for the individual's height.
Data
Any eventAny event: Default, unspecified point in time or interval event which may be explicitly defined in a template or at run-time.
Data
Body mass indexBody mass index: Index describing ratio of weight to height.
0..1000 kg/m²
Height/LengthHeight/Length: Height, or body length, is measured from crown of head to sole of foot.
Height is measured with the individual in a standing position and body length in a recumbent position.
Data
Any eventAny event: Default, unspecified point in time or interval event which may be explicitly defined in a template or at run-time.
Data
Height/LengthHeight/Length: The length of the body from crown of head to sole of foot.
0..1000 cm
Body weightBody weight: Measurement of the body weight of an individual.
Data
Any eventAny event: Default, unspecified point in time or interval event which may be explicitly defined in a template or at run-time.
Data
WeightWeight: The weight of the individual.
0..1000; 0..1000000

Pulse/Heart beatPulse/Heart beat: The rate and associated attributes for a pulse or heart beat.
Data
Any eventAny event: Default, unspecified point in time or interval event which may be explicitly defined in a template or at run-time.
Data
RateRate: The rate of the pulse or heart beat, measured in beats per minute.
0..1000 /min
RespirationRespiration: The characteristics of spontaneous breathing by an individual.
Data
Any eventAny event: Default, unspecified point in time or interval event which may be explicitly defined in a template or at run-time.
Data
RateRate: The frequency of spontaneous breathing.
0..200 /min
Pulse oximetryPulse oximetry: Blood oxygen and related measurements, measured by pulse oximetry or pulse CO-oximetry.
Data
Any eventAny event: Default, unspecified point in time or interval event which may be explicitly defined in a template or at run-time.
Data
SpO₂SpO₂: The saturation of oxygen in the peripheral blood, measured via pulse oximetry.
SpO₂ is defined as the percentage of oxyhaemoglobin (HbO₂) to the total concentration of haemoglobin (HbO₂ + deoxyhaemoglobin) in peripheral blood.
