Abstract : Respiratory rate is an early indicator of physiological deterioration and should be recorded with other vital signs in patients who present to emergency departments. This article highlights the importance of recording patients’ respiratory rates and describes their place in initial patient assessments. It also reviews findings from an audit of ED patients’ notes over a short period to discover whether their respiratory rates had been recorded. These support the results of similar studies in the literature, which show that, despite their importance, respiration rates are documented less often than other vital signs.
Abstrak : Kadar pernafasan adalah petunjuk awal kemerosotan fisiologi dan harus dicatat dengan tanda-tanda penting lain pada pesakit yang hadir ke jabatan kecemasan. Artikel ini menekankan pentingnya mencatat kadar pernafasan pesakit dan menerangkan tempat mereka dalam penilaian pesakit awal. Ia juga mengkaji penemuan dari audit catatan pesakit ED dalam jangka waktu yang pendek untuk mengetahui sama ada kadar pernafasan mereka telah direkodkan. Ini menyokong hasil kajian serupa dalam literatur, yang menunjukkan bahawa, walaupun penting, kadar pernafasan didokumentasikan lebih jarang daripada tanda vital lain.
