Obtaining vital signs is crucial as part of your patient assessment plan as an EMT or EMS provider. When taught EMS education, it's important to understand the different vital signs you will obtain as an EMT or Paramedic.

Once you obtain vital signs as an EMT/Paramedic, you will then determine whether the patient is stable or unstable at the moment. This finding can alter your transport decisions, whether you seek more assistance, and even how fast you transport to the hospital.

First responders such as fire department personnel or emergency medical responders will also gain insight into EMS vital signs and the patient assessment.

Blood pressure, heart rate and pulse, respiratory rate, blood glucose level, pulse oximetry (SPO2), endtidal CO2 (capnography) and other pertinent vital signs will be discussed in this vital signs for EMTs video.

I look forward to seeing your success in class, out in the field as an EMS provider and on NREMT exam, keep going!

Be Great,

Evan, The Paramedic Coach®
