Record the day's visit

Enter vital signs and instructions in under a minute.

What you will learn

  • The filling order that follows the physical exam
  • Where to see the trend as a chart without leaving the screen

Step by step

  1. 1

    Fill in Sinais Vitais e Medidas (vital signs and measurements): maternal weight, fundal height, pulse and blood pressure.

  2. 2

    Record BCF (fetal heart rate), presentation and vaginal examination.

  3. 3

    Write the plan in Observações/Orientações (notes and instructions).

  4. 4

    Check the Evolução dos Sinais Vitais (vital signs trend) charts just below.

This step happens inside an open appointment. Follow the actions with Gest.Life open on the matching tab.

Speed shortcut

Use Tab to move between fields in exam order — you can enter everything without taking your hands off the keyboard.

Why this matters

The trend charts only exist because these fields are filled in appointment after appointment. Weight gain, the blood-pressure curve and fundal height in series catch a deviation before the symptom appears — something free text never delivers.

Best practices

Always do it this way

  • Fill it in during the exam, not afterwards: data entered from memory loses precision.
  • Write the plan in Observações in short sentences — that is what you will re-read next time.
  • Look at the chart before you close: the trend says more than today's isolated value.

Common mistakes

The chart is empty, or has a single point.

The chart is built from finalized appointments. Record and finalize the visits for the series to appear.
