APACHE Score

This value is used to generate the APACHE Score.

Collecting Apache physiological variables

There are some specific rules to follow in choosing which one of several lab results to collect.

See APACHE physiological variable collection for details.

Cross Chcks

Rules described in APACHE_physiological_variable_collection#Exceptionally_high_or_low_values are implemented by Check APACHE physiological variable high low.

Therapeutic Cooling

If a patient is actively cooled for therapeutic reasons, use the most recent temp just prior to start of cooling.

  • If no temp is available before cooling initiated, then use a temp at 4 hours after cooling stopped.
    • cardiac arrests may having the cooling protocol applied. See BRR for more information about special tagging of these patients.

from OR

If a patient is arriving from the OR cold, use the actual worst temperature since this low temp could also be a negative result of "having been open" for a long time.
