Data Integrity Rule -as of 5 June 2000

Never use 100-03 as primary admit diagnosis. Always code the reason for the respiratory arrest first, then code 100-3 only if the following criteria are met:

• A. “99” is called
• B. “99” record is completed
• C. Pulse is present
• D. Intubation is required

• see: Unwitnessed Cardiac Arrest
• see: Witnessed Cardiac Arrest and Cooling Protocol BRR

• should this be called a Code Blue?JWinestock 11:10, 2 June 2009 (CDT)
  • Code blue is not a diagnosis. A "Code Blue" is called for a patient in a hospital in the city that is in a state that may lead to a cardiac or resp arrest or if he has already arrested. Jackie, does this mean that when you see code blue at the Vic you code the DX as Respiratory arrest?TOstryzniuk 14:23, 2 June 2009 (CDT)

Template:Discussion No,I only mean that the term 99 is no longer used. Under A it should read Code Blue and under B it should read Code Blue Record.JWinestock 17:23, 3 June 2009 (CDT)

• • Can you please go ahead and change it in the guide abofe and then delete this discussion.Thanks Jackie.TOstryzniuk 18:50, 3 June 2009 (CDT)
