“…Regular assessment of multi‐parameter vital signs has been shown to be important in identifying patients at risk for serious adverse events, allowing time for nursing interventions to prevent FTR (Storm‐Versloot et al . 2014). One of the concerns of implementing continuous, simultaneous monitoring of multiple vital signs is an abundance of unnecessary audible alerts which interrupt nursing work flow and decrease, rather than improve patient safety (Graham & Cvach 2010).…”

“…However, it is recognized that hospitals may have difficulty in detecting and responding to early signs of patient deterioration, leading to late intensive care referrals, excess mortality and morbidity, and increased hospital costs. During the last years, the efficacy of vital signs routinely measured as a tool to detect deterioration and adverse events was a controversial subject where conflicting evidence existed [1]. However, recent studies have provided evidence of quantitative studies indicating that abnormalities in vital signs occur in patients several hours before deterioration [2], some examples include changes in respiratory rate (RESP), heart rate (HR) and blood pressure [3], [4].…”

“…However, recent studies have provided evidence of quantitative studies indicating that abnormalities in vital signs occur in patients several hours before deterioration [2], some examples include changes in respiratory rate (RESP), heart rate (HR) and blood pressure [3], [4]. Although these results suggest the clinical relevance of routine measures of vital signs, it is unanimous that the subject is poorly studied [1]. The use of methods to predict and detect regime changes can help to understand how vital-sign dynamics are altered in health and disease, revealing potential patterns of physiological deterioration.…”
