'''ICU Var 2''' is currently used differently in ICU and CCU.  
'''ICU Var 2''' there are two codes:
* '''BRR''' - tag used for Cardiac arrest protocol
* '''MAP''' - tag used to track those patient with an MI who have been  put on the MI care map. Started November 2004.
 


==BRR in ICU==

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.
*Code is not to be applied when a cooling protocol is used to normalize temperature for non-arrested patients.

* CCU MAP in this variable is likely unnecessary as all patient who have an acute MI are automatically put on the acute MI care map.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:34, 18 June 2008 (CDT)

**in 2004/05 when MI care MAP was first introduced, Betty Lou Rock wanted to track if it was being applied at all sites consistently.  It has been discussed that at some sites, the MI care map is not applied consistently.  Need to follow this up with the Database Steering Committee and see if they would like us to stop tagging MAP and relegate the code to the legacy category.[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 15:40, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
