Guidelines/Instructions
Record the temperature of the participant/ subject. All temperature measurements should be converted to degrees Celsius (C) prior to aggregation or sharing. TBI: Response is measured in Celsius. Add date stamp for when assessed. 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).
