- Tachycardia or Bradycardia: Elevated or decreased heart rate can signify hypoxia, infection, or cardiac issues. - Tachypnea or Bradypnea: Changes in respiratory rate can indicate respiratory infections or metabolic imbalances. - Hypertension or Hypotension: Abnormal blood pressure can be a sign of renal issues or fluid imbalances. - Hypothermia or Hyperthermia: Abnormal temperatures may suggest infection, hypoglycemia, or environmental factors. - Desaturation: Low oxygen saturation levels may indicate respiratory or cardiovascular problems.
