The early warning signs include abnormal ranges of oxygen levels, respiratory rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, urine output, changes in alertness levels, new or uncontrolled pain, and abnormal blood gas or blood sugar levels. The late warning signs indicate more severe problems, such as obstructed airways, low oxygen levels, unstable vital signs, excessive blood loss, unresponsiveness, low urine output, and critically abnormal blood gas or blood sugar levels.
