Revision as of 14:17, 18 June 2008
ICU Var 2 is currently used differently in ICU and CCU.
BRR in ICU
To tag patients who had the Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol applied in the ICU. The cardiac arrest cooling protocol's target is to lower body temperature to the 32-34 C degree range.
This code is not to be coded when a cooling protocol is used to normalize temperature for non-arrested patients.
Possible Value: BRR if the protocol was applied.
MAP
CCU uses ICU Var 2 only to indicate if the patient is on the Acute MI care map.
Possible Value: MAP if the protocol was applied
Discussion
- CCU MAP in this variable is likely unnecessary as all patient who have an acute MI are automatically put on the acute MI care map.--LKolesar 11:34, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
