Project ABO TEE

Projects
Active?:	active
Program:	CC
Requestor:	Dr. R. Manji, Dr. A. Menkis
Collection start:	2013-01-28
Collection end:

We are collecting blood type and cardiac function on STB CICU patients for analysis of outcomes, research, quality assurance. The project name stands for ABO blood types, and TEE for Trans Esophageal Echocardiogram.

Collection Instructions

• Project A_T blood type
• Blood type would be collected for all patients in CICU except those admitted under a different service .... if there is a blood type in chart (which there would be), need to collect it.
  • A
  • B
  • AB
  • O
  • z not available (starts with z to sort to end)

• Project A_T LV fraction (LV ejection fraction) before Cardiopulmonary bypass (should be from intra-op TEE (Transesophageal echocardiogram) if available, or other pre-op echo if not ):
  • <20%
  • 20-29%
  • 30-49%
  • 50% or greater
  • z not available (starts with z to sort to end)

• Project A_T function (Right ventricular) before Cardiopulmonary bypass (should be from intra-op TEE (Transesophageal echocardiogram) if available, or other pre-op echo if not ):
  • If the documentation says mild-moderate or moderate to severe, then coding would be towards the worse value-eg. Mild-moderate would be recorded as moderate and moderate-severe would be recorded as severe.
  • Values are:
    • Normal
    • Mildy depressed
    • Moderately depressed
    • Severely depressed
    • z not available (starts with z to sort to end)

Source used to obtain ventricular function

• In this file I enter blood type and pre-CBP (pre coronary bypass) RV and LV function. You will find the TEE report in the operation section of the patient chart, usually at the back.
• Collector now has access to TEE reports from Xcelera

Location of computer

• side desk at STB in CICU.

Instructions to access the Xcelera computer.

• password can be found in the front of STB_CICU data collection binder or ask the other collectors in the office.
• locate small black box on desk on right side of computer at STB in CICU.
• 2 settings:
  • one for Xcelera
  • one for the xrays.
• Make sure the light by the Xcelera mode is on.
  • This can be changed by pushing the button on the right side of the box.
• Log on to the computer and click on the Xcelera icon.
  • The Tee reports will come up.
• Scroll to the one you want and click twice to bring it up.

Collection parameters

• Collected only at STB CICU
• Start Date: 2013-01-28
• End Date: planned as continuous collection without an end date

Data Use

Information will be provided by our statistician to physicians for further analysis.
