Two vital signs, respiratory rate and heart rate , measure speed.
We can use three different adjectives to describe these vital signs: fast, slow and normal

Examples

Heart rate = 120 bpm --> "This patient has a fast heart rate because it's above 100 bpm" (above = per sobre de)

Respiratory rate = 8 rpm --> "This patient has a slow respiratory rate because it's below 10 rpm" (below = per sota de)

Heart rate = 75 bpm --> "This patient has a normal heart rate because it's within normal limits " (= dins de la normalitat)

The other four vital signs, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood glucose level , measure quantity,

We can use three different adjectives to describe these vital signs: high, low and normal.

Examples

Temperature = 38,8 ºC --> "This patient has a high temperature (or a fever) because it's above 37.5 ºC.

Blood pressure = 90/65 mmHg --> "This patient has a low blood pressure because systolic pressure is below 100 mmHg.

Blood glucose level = 98 mg/dl --> "This patient has a normal blood glucose level because it's within normal limits "

Oxygen Saturation = 97% --> "This patient has a normal oxygen saturation because it's above 94%"
