| Preterm 1 kg | 120-160 | 30-60 | 42-66 |
| Preterm 2 kg | 120-160 | 30-60 | 50-72 |
| Newborn | 126-160 | 30-60 | 60-70 |
| Up to 1 year | 100-140 | 30-60 | 70-80 |
| 1-3 years | 100-140 | 20-40 | 76-90 |

| 15 years and older | 60-90 | 14-20 | 90-130 |
^Fever directly causes an increase in heart rate of 10 beats per minute per degree centigrade[2]
Newborn Vital Signs[3]
| Age | Pulse^ | Respiratory Rate | Systolic BP |
| Preterm < 1 kg | 120-160 | 30-60 | 36-58 |
| Preterm 1 kg | 120-160 | 30-60 | 42-66 |
| Preterm 2 kg | 120-160 | 30-60 | 50-72 |
| Newborn | 126-160 | 30-60 | 60-70 |
| Min of life | Target sat^^ |
|---|---|
| 1 min | 60-65% |
| 2 min | 65-70% |
| 3 min | 70-75% |
| 4 min | 75-80% |
| 5 min | 80-85% |
| 10 min | 85-95% |
^Fever directly causes an increase in heart rate of 10 beats per minute per degree centigrade[4] ^^Hyperoxia can be harmful
Systolic Blood Pressure
SBP Rule of Thumb
- 0-28dy >60
- 1-12mo >70
- 1-10yrs = 70 + (Age x 2)
- >10yrs = >90
Note: Lower limit of DBP = 2/3 SBP
