What are the objectives of vital sign?

vital signs monitor things that health professionals cant actually see. They help assess changes in the body, irregularities, and assist in your healthcare and treatment.

For example, when you go into hospital they chart vital signs on a regular basis. Vital signs include:

respiratory rate, (is it regular? shallow breathing?),
oxygen saturation (are you getting enough oxygen in to your body? if not it may shut down brain function etc.),
pulse (is it irregular, is there a murmor),
blood pressure (is it too high, too low, does it change over time indicating a bleed?),
temperature (too high, too low, does it indicate infection?)
