ICU Var 2 is currently used to tag patients who had the Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol applied in the ICU. The cardiac arrest cooling protocol's target is to lower body temperature to the 32-34 C degree range.

This code is not to be coded when a cooling protocol is used to normalize temperature for non-arrested patients.


Possible Value: BRR if the protocol was applied.
