| If a specific value for any APACHE field is not available in the first 24 hours in ICU then:
| |
| A) Select a value closest to the time '''prior to''' admission into ICU.
| |
| Make a note on your collection sheet where the information was obtained from (ER or Ward etc) and from which date and time period it was obtained from.
| |
| B) If no information is available, then assume it was not tested because it was normal, and record normal values for all APACHE data. Also note this on your collection in your collection notes.
