*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

*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

All arterial blood gas (ABG) results (FIO2, PO2, CO2, & PH) should be obtained from the same specimen. Use the PH value from the worst ABG result you have selected for a patient during their first 24 hours in ICU.


  • though there are different collection practices used when selecting the PH value, the original APACHE II user manual (version 1.0) is as above.
