The "Filter" Variable field is currently only used for tagging those patient that are on Long term ventilator, (LTV).

  • LTV tag in the filter field is used only for patients who are already on home/institution ventilation either on an LP 3-10 OR, WHERE A DECISION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TO START ON A HOME VENTILATOR ON THE SAME ADMISSION.
  • Just a consult to home ventilation service is NOT sufficient because some patients are either turned down by the LTV Service or they are successfully weaned off of the ventilator. Example: C spine injury; severe COPD.-- Dr. Dan Roberts--TOstryzniuk 14:06, 14 October 2010 (CDT)

Current Tag used for ICU:

  • LTV = Long term ventilator
  • The database program is currently not collecting data on any of medicine service wards that care for LTV patients.

Legacy Data

1. HSC-CCU Only. Tag started: Sept 25, 2003, stopped 2005.

  • B = CCU patient on B3 only
  • H = CCU patient on H7-CCU only
  • BH = CCU patient on BOTH B3 & H7-CCU during one admission

Purpose was to capture CCU patient location during ICU CCU bed closure and during some renovations.

2. HSC & STB-CCU patients only. Tags used for ICU:

  • CC - intubated/ventilated patient in MICU under care of cardiology service or co-managed with MICU attending
  • CCN - not ventilated but requires inotrope support, IABP or central lines in MICU under the care of cardiology service or co-managed with MICU attending

Patients that co-managed by CCU & MICU attending service at the teaching hospitals. This code applies to coronary care patients who are deemed "too sick" for the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) and are managed or co-managed in the Medical ICU because they required one or more of the following:

  • ventilation
  • inotropes
  • central lines
  • IABP
