| Details | The Early Warning Score (EWS) Tool is a simple bedside monitoring tool used to detect early signs of patient deterioration before a serious emergency occurs. It is based on routine vital signs such as respiratory rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, and level of consciousness. Each parameter is given a score, and the total score determines the urgency of intervention and need for review. A high score requires immediate action, escalation, and timely communication to senior clinicians. Proper use of the EWS improves patient safety, reduces preventable deaths, and strengthens quality of care in our hospital. |
