Guidelines/Instructions
GENERAL/FA/MG/NMD/SMA/EPILEPSY/STROKE/DMD: Record the pulse of the participant/subject in beats per minute. ----- TBI/TBIACUTE/TBIEPID/TBIMILD/TBIMOD: Record heart rate from monitor or by counting pulse rate. The suggested range is 0-300. Add date stamp for when assessed. Heart rate may be altered by trauma in a couple of ways. Tachycardia may indicate volume depletion, pain or stress, and higher heart rates have been found in patients that do not survive traumatic injuries. Bradycardia may be seen with elevated intracranial pressure. Pediatric-specific notes: As a minimum, vital signs should be recorded on admission and further, on a daily basis during the acute phase after injury. For the basic datasets, we recommend recording the average and lowest blood pressure over a given period. In the ICU environment, recording blood pressure on an hourly basis is recommended, especially when intracranial pressure (ICP) is monitored in order to permit determination of CPP, calculated as mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) - ICP (intermediate data set). ----- SCI: Resting BP and HR should be obtained following empting of the bladder and 5 minutes of resting period. Both physical activities and full urinary bladder could affect these parameters. ----- ALS: This value should be taken from the Vital Signs CRF to prevent capturing duplicate data in different places. Results should be recoreded in beats per minute (bpm). ----- SMA: Record the pulse of the participant/ subject in beats per minute. ----- MS: Record the pulse of the participant/ subject in beats per minute. Record heart rate from monitor or by counting pulse rate. The suggested range is 0-300. Add date stamp for when assessed. Heart rate may be altered by trauma in a couple of ways. Tachycardia may indicate volume depletion, pain or stress, and higher heart rates have been found in patients that do not survive traumatic injuries. Bradycardia may be seen with elevated intracranial pressure. Pediatric-specific notes: As a minimum, vital signs should be recorded on admission and further, on a daily basis during the acute phase after injury.

In the ICU environment, recording blood pressure on an hourly basis is recommended, especially when intracranial pressure (ICP) is monitored in order to permit determination of CPP, calculated as mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) � ICP (intermediate data set). Resting BP and HR should be obtained following empting of the bladder and 5 minutes of resting period. Both physical activities and full urinary bladder could affect these parameters. ----- HEADACHE: Measure in beats per minute (bpm).
