| Temperature | Heart rate | Respiration rate | Blood pressure | SpO2 |
| 36.8°C | 98bpm | 24/per minute | 140/105mmHg | 96% (room air) |
A CT scan without contrast suggested a probable left cerebrovascular accident, with increased density in the left middle and cerebral artery and possible early signs of oedema.
