Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
It explores whether CRT is associated with triage categories and vital signs in non-traumatic patients, including oxygen saturation (SpO₂), heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body temperature, forearm temperature, and respiratory rate.
Patients admitted to the emergency department of a training and research hospital were assigned triage codes (green, yellow, red). Their CRT was measured three times, and vital signs were recorded accordingly.
