Assessing optimal respiratory rate duration may refine inpatient deterioration detection; this review extends evidence synthesis for vital sign protocols.
Systematic Review
Mølgaard et al. (2016) conducted a systematic review in Clinical deterioration. Manual measurement of respiratory rates for 60 s vs. Shorter duration of measurement was evaluated on Detection of clinical deterioration. This systematic review aims to evaluate whether measuring respiratory rates for 60 seconds is more effective than shorter durations in detecting clinical deterioration among inpatients.
