Enter available blood gases following usual [[APACHE physiological variable collection]] instructions (worst ones only if you are sure) into the '''[[#ABG Helper]]''' in [[CCMDB.~~mdb~~]]'s APACHE tab. Pick the ABG that has the highest score.

'''All arterial blood gas results ([[FiO2]], [[PO2]], [[CO2]] & [[PH]]) must be from the same specimen'''.

An ABG result is preferred, but if '''no''' ABG available during the first 24 hours in ICU then select the worst '''[[Serum CO2]]'''. '''Do not use [[Venous blood gas|venous gases]].'''

An ABG result is preferred, but if '''no''' ABG available during the first 24 hours in ICU then select the worst '''[[Serum CO2]]'''. '''Do not use [[Venous blood gas (labs)|venous gases]].'''

IF [[FiO2]] ≤ 49% - Base the selection of the '''worst''' ABG on the '''worst''' [[PO2]].

=== ABG Helper ===

There is an ABG helper in the [[CCMDB.~~mdb~~]], opened with the [[ABG Helper button]]. You can enter two or more blood gas values and the program will show the number of APACHE points each value generates, whether it is the [[PO2]], [[AaDO2]] or the [[pH]]. Choose the individual blood gas that gives the most APACHE points. Only one complete blood gas can be used; do not pick a pH from one blood gas and other values from another blood gas.
