In Instinct EMR and Instinct Treatment Plan, a monitoring sheet offers two ways to view vitals: Table view, which displays the latest recorded value for each vital, and Trend view, which displays a sparkline chart showing how each vital changed over the procedure. This article explains how to switch between the two views and when to use each.
Switch between Table view and Trend view
Open a monitoring sheet from a patient chart by clicking the Monitoring tab.
In the vitals section at the top, click on Trend or Table to display vitals in each view.
Table view is the default and displays the latest recorded value for each vital.
Trend view replaces each row with a graph. Events recorded at the same time stay aligned across all vitals. You can switch between views at any time.
Tip: The Trend view is most useful after a procedure is complete, when you are reviewing how the patient's vitals tracked during the case. |
Frequently asked questions
Does switching views change my data?
No. Switching views only changes how vitals display. It does not modify, delete, or affect any recorded vitals or monitoring data.
Does the Trend view appear on printed PDFs?

When should I use the Trend view?
Use it to see how vitals, such as heart rate and SpO2, trend during a longer surgery, or to evaluate a patient's response to a transfusion.
Which view opens by default?
Table view.
