   [1] [2] The normal ranges for a person's vital signs vary with age, weight, sex, and overall health. [3] There are four primary vital signs: body temperature, blood pressure, pulse , and breathing rate (respiratory rate), often notated as BT, BP, HR, and RR. However, depending on the clinical setting, the vital signs may include other ...

   Consequently, in many older people, systolic blood pressure often exceeds the normal adult range, [33] if the diastolic pressure is in the normal range this is termed isolated systolic hypertension. The rise in pulse pressure with age is attributed to increased stiffness of the arteries . [ 34 ]

4. Mean arterial pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_arterial_pressure

   In medicine, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) is an average calculated blood pressure in an individual during a single cardiac cycle. [1] Although methods of estimating MAP vary, a common calculation is to take one-third of the pulse pressure (the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures), and add that amount to the diastolic pressure.

7. Blood pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure_measurement

   A minimum systolic value can be roughly estimated by palpation, most often used in emergency situations, but should be used with caution. [10] It has been estimated that, using 50% percentiles, carotid, femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure > 70 mmHg, carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of > 50 mmHg, and only a ...
