+== Therapeutic Cooling ==
+<!-- Discussed in Nov 21.08_ ICU team meeting -->
+Cardiac arrests may having the cooling protocol applied. See [[Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol]] for more information. If a patient is '''actively cooled for therapeutic reasons''', use the most recent temp just '''prior  to''' start of cooling.
+* If no temp is available before cooling initiated, then use a temp at '''4 hours after''' cooling stopped.
-== Data Integrity Rules ==
+=== Arrived from OR cold ===
-* (>=20 And <=43.5)
+If a patient is arriving from the OR cold, use the actual worst temperature since this low temp could also be a negative result of "having been open" for a long time.
