| description | This parent group contains individual groups for each vital sign, where each group contains terms that represent the more routine measurements for each vital sign. These groups do not take the Method into account, so, for example, terms for heart rate measured by palpation and intra-arterial line are grouped together. All of the terms have a timing of point in time and do not include a challenge (e.g., standing or post bronchodilation) for that particular vital sign. All of the vitals are defined as "routine" based on the following criteria: 1) all measurements are point in time (e.g., do not include min/max values for various time periods); 2) none of the terms include a challenge (e.g., standing or post bronchodilation); 3) blood pressure terms only include the ones where the System is 'Arterial system' or 'Brachial artery'; 4) respiratory rate terms only include those with a System of 'Respiratory system'; 5) temperature terms exclude those with a System of 'Finger', 'Toe' and 'Surface'; and 6) oxygen saturation terms only include those with a System that contains 'Bld*' and exclude Systems such as right and left atrium and ventricle and pulmonary artery. |
