Only an authorized spokesperson is permitted to release the following information which is
consistent with the patient confidentiality policy of Connecticut Children’s Medical
Center:
- GOOD: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious and comfortable. Indicators are favorable.
- FAIR: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious, but may be uncomfortable. Indicators are favorable.
- SERIOUS: Vital signs may be unstable and not within normal limits. Patient is acutely ill. Indicators are questionable.
- CRITICAL: Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.
The term "stable" should not be used as a condition. Furthermore, this
term should not be used in combination with other conditions, which by definition, often
indicate a patient is unstable.
