For any ICU patient with one of the following diagnoses:
 
* [[Witnessed Cardiac Arrest | Cardiac Arrest Witnessed 100-2]]  
{{Project
* [[Unwitnessed Cardiac Arrest | Cardiac Arrest Unwitnessed 100-1]] 
| Project = {{PAGENAME}}
code the [[ICU Var 2 - BRR]] variable as follows:  
| ProjectActive = active
*'''BRR''' - cooling protocol was applied (BRR stands for "Brrrr" as in shivering or cold)
| ProjectProgram = CC
*'''XBR''' - no cooling protocol applied for cardiac arrest patient
| ProjectRequestor = Dr. Dean Bell/Dr. Kendiss Olafson
* '''Do not code BRR or XBR''' when a cooling protocol is used to normalize temperature for any type of '''non-cardiac arrest''' patients.

We want to capture all patients who are cooled post '''cardiac arrest''' '''''whether they meet criteria or not'''''.  A significant portion of patients following cardiac arrest do not meet ALL the criteria however, based on the available evidence it is reasonable to consider cooling them.

=== Why the code XBR? ===
'''BRR/XBR''' is an entry we use to identify whether patients are receiving therapeutic hypothermia [[Targeted Temperature Management (TTM)]] following a '''cardiac arrest''' according to the [[Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol]]. By identifying all patients that receive this therapy a further audit can be done to identify if therapy was appropriate or not.
The rationale for the code XBR is to identify those patients who had a cardiac arrest but '''were not cooled''' regardless if they met criteria for cooling or not. XBR was implemented after an audit of cardiac arrest was done and it was found that there were several cardiac arrests coded that were missing code BRR.  By leaving Variable 2 blank for a cardiac arrest, it is not clear to Kendiss or Julie whether a data collector missed tagging it or if indeed cooling was not applied. Coding XBR indicates to both Kendiss and Julie that a collector verfied that the cooling protocol was not applied.  
We do '''not track cooling for reasons other than cardiac arrest'''.


=== Do not collect cooling for other diagnoses ===
== Guidelines / Collection Instructions ==
This field does not include other populations which cooling can be used for. Only cardiac arrests.
For any ICU patient with one of the following diagnoses:
==== How about cooling for other reasons? ====
* [[Cardiac arrest]]
*Even though Dr. Garland's opinion in past email was that would be nice to be tag cooling protocol applied for all reasons, this is a request for addition to data collection which must be brought forth to [[:Category: Steering Committee |Steering Committee ]] for approval.  Currently BRR is only being used for '''a very specific project''' related to cardiac arrests.  Keep in mind that it is very easy to keep adding things to list of collected items.  Unless there is someone requesting to do a specific project related cooling for other reasons and they will actually be doing something with the data, then we won't just add it because it is a good idea. ...[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 18:08, 2012 June 18 (CDT)
** Should this be pursued or summarized down into a "this is how it is" rather than a "should it change"?Ttenbergen 14:03, 2012 November 7 (EST){{discussion}}


== Should this be an ongoing collection? ==
or pre-ICD10:
"...As you can see it is a challenge to keep criteria straight for even this one project here.  The question needs to be asked of the Critical Care Quality Improvement team, Kendiss Olafson & Dave Easton (chairman) if BRR and XBR really needs to be collected indefinitely or if it can be done as an intermittent audit.  I will pose the question to Dave and Kendiss and/or raise it at next Steering Committee meeting.
* [[Witnessed Cardiac Arrest]]  
**June 19.12 - Email sent to QI Team (Olafson & Easton), Critical Care Directors HSC (Paunavic, Tweed, Garland)as to above.[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 12:48, 2012 June 19 (CDT)
* [[Unwitnessed Cardiac Arrest]]
***Response from: Kendiss Olfson & Dave Easton who is the Chairman of CCQI committee - they will be meeting in August and let us know the status of this. Continue collecting until we hear back.[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 14:22, 2012 June 22 (CDT)
**** any news on that? Ttenbergen 00:43, 2012 November 2 (EDT){{discussion}}


== Context: Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol ==
Code in TMP follows:
*Target temp: '''32°C to 34°C''' for '''12 to 24 hours'''.
* Project: Cooling  
*item
**'''BRR''' (BRR stands for "Brrrr" as in shivering or cold)
*** cooling protocol was applied at any point post arrest
**'''XBR''' - no cooling protocol applied


Taken from the Hypothermia Protocol:
'''Do not code BRR or XBR''' when a cooling protocol is used to normalize temperature for any type of '''non-cardiac arrest''' patients.
*Cooling is indicated if '''all''' of the following are checked: 
**Cardiac Arrest
**Initial rhythm ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia(Dx code: 131-4, or 131-1)
**Time to ACLS <15 minutes
**Total ACLS time <60 minutes
**Persistent [[Glasgow Coma Scale]] < or = 9
**Systolic BP currently over 90 mmHg (pressors allowed)
**< 8 hours elapsed since Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC)

== CCI ==
* see [[Check BRR, XBR vs TISS]]
[[Task Team Meeting - Rolling Agenda and Minutes#ICU Database Task Group Meeting – October 3, 2018]] confirmed that we can stop collecting this when we start collecting CCI [[Targeted Temperature Management (TTM)]]. We may want to import the old entries as CCI codes? Ttenbergen 00:19, 2018 October 10 (CDT)

== Start Dates and other historical information ==
== Background ==
* collection was started '''August 2004'''
=== '''Start Dates''' ===
* XBR and [[CCMDB.mdb]] cross checks were added to detect occasions where entry was just forgotten/missed '''March 19.09'''
* '''2004 August'''

* cross-checks changed to include [[Unwitnessed Cardiac Arrest]] '''August 27.09'''  
* cross-checks changed to include [[Unwitnessed Cardiac Arrest]] '''August 27.09'''  
* moved from ICU Var 2 into TMP on Dec 18, 2014
=== '''Stop Date''' ===
'''2018 Dec 31'''
*Stop in TMP.  All patient still in unit after this date, code as: [[Targeted Temperature Management (TTM)]]
=== Why the code XBR? ===
The rationale for the code XBR is to identify those patients who had a cardiac arrest but '''were not cooled''' regardless if they met criteria for cooling or not. XBR was implemented after an audit of cardiac arrest was done and it was found that there were several cardiac arrests coded that were missing code BRR.  By leaving Variable 2 blank for a cardiac arrest, it is not clear to Kendiss or Julie whether a data collector missed tagging it or if indeed cooling was not applied.  Coding XBR indicates to both Kendiss and Julie that a collector verfied that the cooling protocol was not applied. 
=== removed 12 hr requirement ===
Discussed at task 2018-04-11: we are removing the 12 hr requirement because the use and application of the protocol has changed since inception and this restriction is no longer reasonable.
