As a Paramedic, when I assess a patients condition, I look for 'Signs & Symptoms'.1. If the patient is UNCONSCIOUS use Signs - these signs are the signals that certain organs give off that tell me whether they are functioning or not... These signals are as follows:To check the BRAIN, assess the LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS,To check the LUNGS, assess the BREATHING,To check the HEART, assess the PULSE andassess the SKIN for COLOR and TEMPERATURE.The above organs are called VITAL ORGANS, and the SIGNS to look for are called VITAL SIGNS.2. If the patient is CONSCIOUS ask the patient about their SYMPTOMS. In other words. SYMPTOMS are things the patient needs to tell the rescuer like pain & nausea.not eating cheese is a symptom of lactosintolerant

Vital signs are an indication of the patient's condition and can help diagnose problems. A pulse that is strong is an indication of a stable patient, for example. One that is weak and thready may indicate the patient is in shock or has other injuries. So the vital signs give the workers an indication of what needs to be done in order to stabilize and transport the patient.
When the patient came in he was unstable, but after treatment he returned to baseline vital signs.
The more signs present, the greater the chance of death. A patient with less than three positive Ranson's signs has a less than 5% chance of dying. A patient with three to four positive Ranson's signs has a 15-20% chance of dying.
If a patient is found to have critical vital signs, a doctor will need to evaluate the patient right away. They may be in a health crisis and need immediate help in the form of treatment or medication.
