Artificial Cooling

Discussed in Nov 21.08_ ICU team meeting:

If a patient is actively cooled for therapeutic reasons, use the most recent temp just prior to start of cooling.

  • If no temp is available before cooling initiated, then use a temp at 4 hours after cooling stopped.
    • cardiac arrests may having the cooling protocol applied. See BRR for more information about special tagging of these patients.

If a patient is arriving from the OR cold, use the actual worst temperature since this low temp could also be a negative result of "having been open" for a long time.

  • the key to APACHE is not to record iatrogenically induced problem.
