D C91101 NCPDP MeasurementUnitCode Terminology C42559 Degree Celsius Degree Celsius A unit of temperature of the temperature scale designed so that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure. The current official definition of the Celsius sets 0.01 C to be at the triple point of water and a degree to be 1/273.16 of the difference in temperature between the triple point of water and absolute zero. One degree Celsius represents the same temperature difference as one Kelvin. D C91101 NCPDP MeasurementUnitCode Terminology C42569 Square Meter Square Meter A SI unit of area measurement equal to a square whose sides are one meter long. Square meter is equal to 10,000 square centimeters; 0.01 are; 1.196 square yards; 10.76 square feet; 1550 square inches. D C91101 NCPDP MeasurementUnitCode Terminology C44277 Degree Fahrenheit Degree Fahrenheit A unit of temperature of the temperature scale designed so that the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and melting points of water 180 degrees apart. One degree Fahrenheit is 5/9ths of a kelvin (or of a degree Celsius), and minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to minus 40 degrees Celsius. D C91101 NCPDP MeasurementUnitCode Terminology C48155 Gram Gram The metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram. One gram equals approximately 15.432 grains or 0.035 273 966 ounce.

D C91101 NCPDP MeasurementUnitCode Terminology C49676 Pulse Rate Pulse Rate The rate of the pulse as observed in an artery, expressed as beats per minute. It can be measured at several anatomical sites, including the wrist, neck, temple, groin, behind the knees, or on top of the foot. D C91101 NCPDP MeasurementUnitCode Terminology C49677 Heart Rate Heart Rate The number of heartbeats per unit of time, usually expressed as beats per minute.

D C91101 NCPDP MeasurementUnitCode Terminology C49679 Mean Arterial Pressure Mean Arterial Pressure The mean pressure of the blood within the arterial circulation. The arterial pressure may be directly measured by insertion of an intra-arterial catheter connected to a transducer. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) can be calculated by subsequent analysis of the waveform. MAP can be approximated without an invasive procedure using the following formula: diastolic pressure plus 1/3 of the pulse pressure, where pulse pressure is systolic pressure - diastolic pressure.
