What is NOT a criterion indicating a patient might have an infection that needs reporting to the receiving hospital?

In the context of identifying infection indicators that warrant reporting to a receiving hospital, a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm) does not typically suggest an infection that requires immediate medical attention. This is because bradycardia, or a slow heart rate, is generally not a common sign of infection. Instead, infection markers generally include elevated vital signs, indicative of the body's response to an infectious agent.

A heart rate under 60 bpm can occur in various non-infectious conditions, including athletic conditioning or certain heart conditions, and does not align with the typical tachycardic responses observed in infections. Therefore, while vital signs indicating increased temperature or respiratory and heart rate above certain thresholds point towards potential infection needing attention, a lower heart rate does not fit this criterion and hence is the correct answer to identify what does not indicate a need for reporting an infection.
