18.1. Early Warning Score (EWS)
The Early Warning Score can help identify early signs of deterioration in patients
and is an early warning indicator for critical or potentially critical illness. The Early
Warning Score System obtains corresponding scores by monitoring and observing
patients' vital signs and states, and gives corresponding suggestions on solutions
according to the scoring results.
The monitor provides the following scoring system:
National early warning score (NEWS)；
Modified early warning score (MEWS).
NEWS and MEWS are aggregate scoring systems that score each parameter
selected and then calculate an aggregate score. The grading of each parameter is
color-coded to indicate the corresponding critical level. Provide action when the total
score exceeds the range. NEWS and MEWS scoring systems are applicable for adult
only.
WARNING:
The results of the Early Warning Scores and the action measures provided are
for reference only and cannot be directly used as a basis for clinical treatment.
Early warning scores cannot be an indicator for predicting patient development
and overall prognosis; it is not a tool for comprehensive clinical judgment and
cannot completely replace clinicians' assessment of patients.
