== Additional Info ==
SICU does '''not''' save charts of patients who where discharged home or transferred to another facility for data collectors. They must be requested from MR. See [[HSC Medical Records requests]].
Thinned charts are kept on the high shelf at the front desk.
A white board by the front desk lists the patients. It also lists:
*patients on the transfer list
*MICU patients borrowing a bed in SICU
*SICU patients borrowing a bed in PACU
*other valuable info

Charts of deceased patients are '''not''' kept in the Unit for data collectors. As is true for all deceased patients' charts, they are at the [[HSC Death Registry]].
 
 
== CCFS ==
The flow sheets contain various data points that we collect, but they are not always complete. They must be used in conjunction with the chart to ensure that data is not missed. Some of the information found in the CCFS includes:
 
*VS (first vitals = arrive time)
*Medication infusions (these must be confirmed with MAR Sheets)
*IV medications, including regularly scheduled and STAT (these must be confirmed with MAR Sheets)
*Daily fluid intake
*Blood products (must be confirmed with the Blood Administration Record)
*Dressing changes (also check IPN)
*CAM
*Respiratory information, including modes of ventilation, presence of ETT/trach, extubations, etc.
*Various interventions including ICP, drainage tubes, lines, TF, TPN, HD, CRRT, CT's, MRI's, EEG, ECHO, scopes, etc.


Thinned charts and old charts are kept above the desk by the FAX machine at the South Desk.

== Flowsheet s==
*The infusion drugs are listed under the vital signs and not on the MAR's.  The IV med's given are listed on the Fluid Balance section of the Flowsheet, as wellas any colloid.  The colloids should be in red, but are not always.  The number of the unit may be listed, but not the type, e.g. FFP vs PRB.  This may require checking the Blood Admin record for clarification.
