Abstrakt: The four classic vital signs are respiratory rate, temperature, pulse rate and blood pressure. Although their measurement has been standard practice for over a century, there have been few attempts to quantify their clinical performance. Until recently, the largest study of respiratory rate was performed by Hutchinson in 1846 and the largest studies on fever remain those performed by Wunderlich in the nineteenth century.
