The patient's Temperature level in °C.
Therapeutic Cooling
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.
Arrived from OR cold
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.

APACHE Score
This value is used to generate the APACHE Score.
Collecting Apache physiological variables
There are some specific rules to follow in choosing which one of several lab results to collect.
See APACHE physiological variable collection for details.
Cross Chcks
Rules described in APACHE_physiological_variable_collection#Exceptionally_high_or_low_values are implemented by Check APACHE physiological variable high low.
