| *When selecting a PH for your APACHE score do you:
| |
| *a. use the PH from the worst BLOOD GAS result you had selected for that patient
| |
| *-or-
| |
| *b. do select the worst PH which is independent of the ABG you used?[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 16:01, 12 February 2009 (CST)

| *I use the worst pH of the same ABG, I do not extract another pH from another gas as that would be stacking the deck wouldn’t it? Basically I choose the gas that would score the highest for the apache as a lower/higher pH can sometimes count more than a lower p02. Feb 12.09
