Artificial Cooling
Discussed in Nov 21.08_ ICU team meeting:
If a patient is actively cooled for therapeutic reasons, use the most recent temp just prior tostart of cooling.
- If no temp is available before cooling initiated, then use temp at 4 hours after cooling stopped.
- cardiac arrests may having the cooling protocol applied. See BRR for more information.
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.
- the key to APACHE is not to record iatrogenically induce problem.TOstryzniuk 23:26, 4 December 2008 (CST)
