vital signs ranges across a lifespan
The normal ranges for a personâs vital signs vary with age, weight, gender, and overall health. There are four primary vital signs: body temperature, blood pressure, pulse (heart rate), and breathing rate (respiratory rate).However, depending on the clinical setting these may include other measurements called the fifth vital sign or sixth vital sign.MTs (Emergency Medical Technicians), in particular, are taught to measure the vital signs of: respiration, pulse, skin, pupils, and blood pressure as the 5 vital signs in a non-hospital setting.
