The vital signs are, by definition, the measurements of the body's
most basic functions. So far, the essential number of signs that
must be measured is not clear as some references consider that the
body temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate and breathing rate are
sufficient but other sources consider that the measurement of other
variables, such as the respiratory effort and oxygen saturation,
are also crucial to determine the health of the person. This book
is not intended to define the critical vital signs but presents the
correlation of these measurements with other variables as well as
the proposition of new methods to determine these variables. It
also proposes some innovative applications that relay on these
signs in a way to monitor and help the human being. Thus, this book
presents six chapters that deal first with the correlation between
the physical training and the blood pressure level among adults as
well as the stress effects for nurses on their vital signs. Added
to that, the influence of the vital signs to predict and detect
epileptical seizure and the analysis of neural mechanisms of major
depressive disorders will be also presented. As for the other
chapters, they go into some engineering applications related to
vital signs as the development of a smart syringe pump that
monitors the patient's crucial parameters and the introduction of a
novel system that monitors the driver's health and notifies health
care providers in case the driver has any health failure in order
to prevent cars accidents.
