This document provides a cheat sheet for vital signs measurements including temperature, pulse and respiration rates by age, blood pressure readings and definitions, common pulse measurement sites, and oxygen saturation levels and definitions. It lists the normal ranges for core temperature, oral temperature, rectal temperature, temporal temperature and axillary temperature. It also provides the average pulse and respiration rates by age group from newborn to adult. The normal blood pressure reading for healthy adults is listed as 120/80 mmHg and the common sites for measuring pulse are identified. Finally, the document defines the levels of oxygen saturation as normal, mild hypoxia, moderate hypoxia and severe hypoxia along with their corresponding SpO2 percentages.
