Targeted Temperature Management (TTM): Difference between revisions

Line 10:

If a patient receives post-arrest cooling (targeted temperature management, TTM), code it. It doesn't matter for how long the cooling was applied or whether the [[Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol]] was followed. Hypothermia is not always needed. The idea is to keep the patient's temperature from going high. Usual maintenance temp is 36 degrees.

*{{Discussion}} Occasionally the patient on TTM is not cooled at all because their temperature remains low, they may even be warmed to keep the temperature at 36 degrees. Do we still use the whole body cooling in CCI or should we use warming in these cases?--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 14:31, 2018 October 29 (CDT)

For patients with this, also code [[BRR]].

* This is one of those things where we can't stop the tmp project unless/until we confirm that the "has no cooling" cross check won't be required.

** Allan confirmed that Bojan doesn't require special treatment for this one, so we will be able to ~~remove~~ the ~~"no cooling"~~ entry and its cross check~~; we still want the check where you can;t have cooling unless there is an arrest. This means we can move this code over to CCI~~. }}

* Allan confirmed that Bojan doesn't require special treatment for this one, so '''once we fully move to CCI only collection''' we will be able to stop collecting the [[BRR]] entry and its cross check altogether. }}
