Selection and timing of APACHE components
This page explains how to select physiological or GCS values for entry into the fields used for Apache in CCMDB.accdb.
APACHE
|
Instructions
Choose the worst value that occurs within the 24 hours after Accept DtTm.
The worst value could be high or low, depending which gives the most points.

Iatrogenically changed values
Keep in mind the diagnosis and try not to include iatrogenically modified values, e.g. BP severely high due to inotropes or decreased LOC due to sedation.
However, if a value is assessed as part of testing whether an intervention works, that value is not necessarily ineligible (e.g. see Arterial_blood_gas_(APACHE)#ABGs_as_part_of_apnea_tests).
