Additional Info

Only track whole body cooling done for post-Cardiac arrest.

If a patient receives post-arrest cooling (targeted temperature management, TTM), code it. It doesn't matter for how long the cooling was applied or whether the Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol was followed. Hypothermia is not always needed. The idea is to keep the patient's temperature from going high. Usual maintenance temp is 36 degrees.


Occasionally the patient on TTM is not cooled at all because their temperature remains low, they may even be warmed to keep the temperature at 36 degrees. Do we still use the whole body cooling in CCI or should we use warming in these cases?--LKolesar 14:31, 2018 October 29 (CDT)

coding with BRR

For patients with this, also code BRR.

  • Allan confirmed that Bojan doesn't require special treatment for this one, so once we fully move to CCI only collection we will be able to stop collecting the BRR entry and its cross check altogether.
