Vital signs are measurements that indicate life, including heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, and blood pressure. They can be observed and monitored to assess a person's health status. Normal vital signs can vary by age, sex, weight, exercise, and other factors. Temperature is usually measured orally and normal temperature ranges are 98.6°F (37°C) orally and slightly higher in other areas. Blood pressure has a normal range of 120/80 and is measured using a sphygmomanometer and cuff on the upper arm. Respiration rate is counted by observing rises and falls of the chest and has a normal range between 12-20 breaths per minute.

VITAL SIGNS
Vital signs provide important health information about a patient. The four main vital signs are body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate, and blood pressure. Taking vital signs can help detect changes in a patient's condition and determine if medical intervention is needed. Normal ranges are 97.8-99F for temperature, 60-100 beats per minute for pulse, 12-16 breaths per minute for respiration, and below 120/80 mmHg for blood pressure. Factors like illness, medications, and environment can cause vital signs to fall outside normal ranges.

5.Vital Signs-1.pptx
This document provides guidelines for assessing various vital signs including body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate, and blood pressure. It discusses appropriate techniques for measuring each vital sign, normal ranges, factors that influence the measurements, and guidelines for documentation. The key vital signs covered are temperature (measured orally, rectally, axillary, or tympanically), pulse (measured at radial or apical sites), and respiration (assessed by chest or abdominal movement and counted for a full minute).
Mesurement of pulse and Respiratory rate pptx.pptx
1) Pulse rate, rhythm, and strength are important vital signs measured to assess a person's health status and response to medications or activities.
2) Normal pulse rate for adults is 60-100 beats per minute, though trained athletes may have lower rates. Tachycardia is over 100 bpm and bradycardia is under 60 bpm.
3) Respiration rate is also important to monitor and is normally 12-20 breaths per minute. Abnormal respiratory patterns include tachypnea, bradypnea, dyspnea, and hypoventilation or hyperventilation.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.A Classical Text Review on Basavarajeeyam

Vital signs
- 6. Vital signs are physical signs that indicate an individual is alive. These signs may be observed, measured, and monitored to assess an individual's level of physical functioning.
- 7. 1. Heart beat 2. Breathing rate 3. Temperature 4. Blood pressure Normal vital signs change with : • Age • Sex • Weight • Exercise
- 8. • Prior to measuring vital signs, the patient should have had the opportunity to sit for approximately five minutes • Before diving in, take a minute or so to look at the patient in their entirety • Does the patient seem anxious, in pain, upset? What about their dress and hygiene? Remember, the exam begins as soon as you lay eyes on the patient
- 9. The normal body temperature of a person varies depending on : • Gender • Recent activity • Food • Fluid consumption • Time of day
- 10. Measurements Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) Degrees Celsius (centigrade; °C) Normal adult oral temperature 98.6°F 37°C
- 11. oral routes axillary tympanic Rectal
- 17. Route Normal Range ºF / ºC Sites Oral 37.0 ºC Mouth Tympanic 37.5 ºC Ear Rectal 37.5 ºC Rectum Axillary 36.5 ºC Axilla
- 18. Def : Number of times the heart beats in 1 minute The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute
- 19. 5th intercostal space directly below center of left clavicle . Apical pulse taken with a stethoscope
- 20. •
- 24. Count for 30 seconds, then multiply by 2 (a rate of 35 beats in 30 seconds equals a pulse rate of 70 beats/minute)
- 26. The respiration rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute
- 27. fever illness under 12 breaths over 20 breaths
- 28. 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0-1 yrs 6-11 yrs ADULT
- 29. Systolic pressure – measure of pressure when left ventricle contracts Diastolic pressure Measure of pressure when heart relaxes Minimum pressure exerted against the artery walls at all times 120/80
- 30. Equipment Sphygmomanometer Inflatable cuff Pressure bulb Manometer
- 32. Painful procedures and exercise should not have occurred within one hour Patient should have been sitting quietly for about 5 minutes
- 33. • Sitting position • Arm and back are supported. • Feet should be resting firmly on the floor • Palm is facing up. • The arm should remain somewhat bent and completely relaxed
- 34. 1. Place cuff on the upper arm above the brachial pulse site 2. Inflate cuff about 20 mmHg above palpatory result or approximately 180 mmHg to 200 mmHg 3. Release the air in cuff slowly at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second and listen for the first heartbeat (systolic pressure) and the last heartbeat (diastolic pressure) 4. Record results with systolic as the top number and diastolic as the bottom number (i.e., 120/76)
- 35. BP must take in both arms The two arm readings should be within 10-15 mm Hg. Differences greater then 10-15 imply differential blood flow
- 37. Post exercise, ambulatory disabilities, obese, known blood pressure problems stress
