Abstract

Best timing for measuring orthostatic vital signs? We typically take a blood pressure within 3 minutes of a patient rising from a supine to a standing position. But is that too long? PRACTICE CHANGER: Measure orthostatic vital signs within 1 minute of standing to most accurately correlate dizziness with long-term adverse outcomes. STRENGTH RECOMMENDATION: B: Based on a single, high-quality, prospective cohort study with patient-oriented outcomes and good follow-up.
