I am looking for information that other departments use for Medical Standards on Rehab at fire scenes. We all know that firefighters operating at fire will have higher than normal blood pressure and pulse rates. The question is does anyone have a standard as to what vitals are too high to leave Rehab and return to work? If so what are these standards? Do you know the reasoning behind setting these particular limits.
