| *''A cardiac arrest patient must be successfully resuscitated to be considered as admitted to the unit, meaning a period of time, of 30 minutes, without requiring CPR. Therefore patient's who are admitted DOA (dead on arrival) or those in unit '''less than or equal to 30 minutes''' who pass away, should not be included in database.''

| DX coding:
| |
| *ICU Admit DX:
| |
| #cardiac arrest
| |
| #type of rhythm (if charted)
| |
| #MI
| |
| #CHF
| |
| *Transfer to Medicine Ward
| |
| **Admit DX:
| |
| #MI
| |
| #CHF
| |
| | |
| '''NOTE:'''
| |
| *''Primary reason to ICU was cardiac arrest. Issue resolved in ICU so arrest must '''not''' be coded as primary reason to ward when patient transferred to the ward.''
| |
| | |
| *''If patient is admitted directly from the ward from ER with the above admitting DX then cardiac arrest is the primary reason for admission to medicine ward from the ER.

| *SEE [[BRR]] for information about the cooling protocol applied to witnessed cardiac arrests

| ==NOTE==
| |
| Code 100.00-Arrest without a subcode:
| |
| *If it is not clear in the patient chart if the arrest was either witnessed, unwitnessed or respiratory then you would not use a subcode therefore, 10000 would be possible option. I would prefer that folks not guess if it really isn't clear in the chart.--[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 17:34, 14 September 2010 (CDT)
