The book of data collection guidelines did have the instruction to choose the worst PH independent of the ABG selected for worst O2 (page 88 from Feb 11, 2004)) unless I misinterpreted it. Regardless, it was usually the same ABG anyway but thank you for the clarification above which states that all results should come from the same ABG.--[[User:MWaschuk|MWaschuk]] 11:13, 16 March 2009 (CDT) | |||

All arterial blood gas (ABG) results (FIO2, PO2, CO2, & PH) should be obtained from the same specimen. Use the PH value from the worst ABG result you have selected for a patient during their first 24 hours in ICU.
- though there are different collection practices used when selecting the PH value, the original APACHE II user manual (version 1.0) is as above.
