Figure 4.10: Vital Signs graph


Vital Signs chart renders the ten most recent vital signs measurements. The latest chart update appears on the top right corner as depicted in Figure 4.10. Next to the timestamp, the Add Vital Signs button triggers the modal window for adding new measurements.

Heart Rate is presented as an orange line chart that indicates the trend of the patient’s heart rate for the last 10 measurements. The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the date and time of each specific measurement and the vertical axis (y axis) on the left of the graph shows the Heart Rate values as beats per minute (bpm).

Respiratory rate is presented as a dark blue line chart that indicates the trend of the patient’s respiratory rate for the last 10 measurements. The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the date and time of each specific measurement and the vertical axis (y axis) on the left of the graph shows the Respiratory rate as percentage.

Temperature is presented as a blue line chart that indicates the trend of the patient’s temperature for the last 10 measurements. The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the days and the vertical axis (y axis) on the right of the graph shows the Temperature values as Celsius degrees.

Systolic blood pressure is presented as a red bar charts that indicate the patient’s systolic blood pressure for the last 10 measurements. The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the date and time of each specific measurement and the vertical axis (y axis) on the left of the graph shows the Systolic blood pressure as millimeter of mercury (mmHg).

Diastolic blood pressure is presented as a green bar charts that indicate the patient’s diastolic blood pressure for the last 10 measurements. The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the date and time of each specific measurement and the vertical axis (y axis) on the left of the graph shows the Diastolic blood pressure as millimeter of mercury (mmHg).

If you click on a specific Vital Sign e.g. the Heart Rate label on the top of the graph you will be able to disable that line chart. It you click the label again, then the Heart Rate line graph will be enabled again. The same stands for Temperature, Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure. This will help you of better understanding of the trend of each vital sign during the last 10 measurements.
