The Critical Care database counts the laboratory tests listed in the L Labs Flowsheet Tab for every patient for their entire LOS in a unit.

Lab Collection Process

For every ICU patient, for every qualifying component of the L_Labs Flowsheet tab in the Patient Viewer in CCMDB.mdb enter the number of times the test was performed.

If a patient has no entries by the end of their stay, enter a date and leave zeros under all the labs.

See the following for specific information for some components:

  • Platelets if received
  • Sputum C+S
  • Blood culture (Blood C+S)
  • Angio other - see Category: Angiogram for other types of angios collected
  • PT/ PTT Count one for either a PT or a PTT or an INR. Any one, two or all of these coags would constitute a count of ONE when done at the same time. Examples: a PT is only done (this is a count of one); a PT and a PTT are done (this is a count of one); a PT, PTT and INR are done (this is a count of one). TASK Team reviewed Oct 19.15.

Labs done on route

Labs (eg CTs) done on the way to the Unit e.g. from the ER, are not counted since they occur before admission to the Unit.

Angiograms counted even if on route to unit

Coronary Angiograms are an exception to the above rule. If a patient comes directly from the heart cath lab to the ICU, then we need to count the angiogram. For example, the pt is sent to the STB cath lab from the Vic ER, then the pt goes back directly to the Vic ICU following the angiogram. The Vic ICU collector should count this angiogram. Coronary angiograms have always been tracked this way because they wanted the counts on them specifically and most are done prior to arrival in the ICU. Sorry this information was not in the wiki up to now so has not been consistently counted throughout the city. --LKolesar 10:39, 2014 September 30 (CDT)

Rejected Specimens

Rejected specimens are not included in the lab counts.(Discussed at the Task meeting January 5,2015)
