Apache Physiological Variable
variable name	hematocrit
unit	percentage
absolute max allowed	3
warning max	3
high score 4	>=60
high score 3
high score 2	>=50 and <60
high score 1	>=46 and <50
score 0	>=30 and <46
low score 1
low score 2	>=20 and <30
low score 3
low score 4	<20
AP phys warnMin	68
AP phys absMin	78

This value is used to generate the APACHE Score.

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

The patient's hematocrit level in percentage.
