Revision as of 00:30, 5 May 2009 by Ttenbergen (talk | contribs)

ICU Var 2 Currently there are two codes that are applicable to this slot:

  • BRR - tag used for Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol. Click HERE for more information.
    • Started June 2004. Consistent application of code didn't start at all sites until about Aug 2004?


  • MAP- tag used to track those patient with an MI who have been put on the MI Care Map.
    • started November 2004.

If both BRR and MAP are used coding BRR takes precedence over MAP.


Legacy Data

  • OBS - tag for CON patient in ER telemetry, also here. Should only be in ICU Var 1. fix up in S-tables. The 4 patients that have been tagged in Variable slot 2 with OBS have had this code moved to ICU var 1 in master database.TOstryzniuk 16:39, 23 July 2008 (CDT)
    • If this has been corrected both in the data and in the s_table, this entry should be deleted. Ttenbergen 00:30, 5 May 2009 (CDT)
