Comparison of Different Methods of Obtaining Orthostatic Vital Signs
Clinical Nursing Research, 2000 The purpose of this study was to compare two lying and standing procedures for measuring orthostatic vital signs. Thirty-five normotensive participants (mean age 21.6 years) participated in a randomized crossover study. Measures of blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and dizziness were collected at different lying and standing times.

Unique cutpoints for sitting-to-standing orthostatic vital signs
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2003 The study objective was to describe the distribution of normal changes in vital signs related to moving from a sitting to a standing position. Subjects were free of cardiovascular disease and determined to be euvolemic by structured interview. Vital signs were measured after a minimum of 5 minutes of sitting and after 1 minute of standing.

Standing shock index: An alternative to orthostatic vital signs
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2017 Objective The lack of a sensitive, practical bedside test for hypovolemia has rekindled interest in the shock index (heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure). Here, we compare the effect of blood donation on standing shock index values with its effect on values for the supine shock index and orthostatic change in shock indicies (OCSI).This is a ...
