Table 1. – Definition of the variables reported and deviations that trigger an alert.
Normal | Alert | |
---|---|---|
Peripheral saturation of O2(SpO2) | ∆ < 4% of basal | ∆ ≥ 4% and SpO2< 92% |
Heart Rate | 50-100 ppm | <50 or > 100 |
Systolic blood pressure | ∆ ≤ 20% of basal | ∆ > 20% of basal |
Diastolic blood pressure | ∆ ≤ 20% of basal | ∆ > 20% of basal |
Body weight | ∆ <1Kg | ∆ ≥ 1 Kg in 24h or ≥ 2Kg in 3 days |
Temperature | ≤ 37.5ºC | >37.5ºC |
Three-lead electrocardiogram | HR 50-100 | HR <50 or > 100 |
HR: Heart rate. Kg: kilogram.
