| === mean arterial [[BP]] ===
| |
| Look carefully when selecting this value. APACHE II score is based on the '''worst''' calculated mean BP (either high or low) which ever gives you the highest points as per scoring table, but you must also take in account the diagnosis. For example if a patient is in septic shock, you would want the lowest BP as opposed to the highest BP that is artificially enhanced by inotropes.

| * This refers to an arterial BP. Is that different from a regular BP? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 17:14, 25 November 2008 (CST)

| * These instructions should be moved to [[Mean BP]] and integrated there. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 17:14, 25 November 2008 (CST)
