Could we please have some clarification around using this code and when to check as primary?

• • example 1 patient arrests in ER, goes to OR and is admitted to ICU from the OR. Diagnosis, cardiac arrest (6-10 min downtime) abdominal compartment syndrome/obstruction/perforation/, acute liver failure from shock liver, shock, NOS
• when to carry it forward as an admit for subsequent profiles in the same episode of care?
  • example 2 April 6, PEA arrest secondary to anaphylactic shock, April 19 melena, scope suspicious for ischemic gut, goes to the OR April 20 confirms gangrenous bowel/perforation, abscesses, to SICU post op (clinically in SS but doesn't have lactate high enough for our criteria) do we still include the cardiac arrest code?

How hard of a rule is lactate >2? If they meet the criteria for septic shock with the exception of a high enough lactate, can we code septic shock Lisa Kaita 12:17, 2024 April 17 (CDT)

• discussed at TASK April 24, Dr Ziegler is researching various definitions of septic shock and will speak to this at next TASK Lisa Kaita 19:57, 2024 April 24 (CDT)

• IIRC we collected CAM positive (TISS Item) specifically for this, right? If so, can we stop collecting it? And can we make sure a stoppage like this in the future results in reviewing what we collect? Ttenbergen 10:02, 2024 March 20 (CDT)
  • Delirium rate per 1000 days per unit is being reported in the OIT Reports. ---JMojica 11:49, 2024 March 20 (CDT)
    • As in Delirium days is reported in Critical Care Program Quality Indicator Report? But that doesn't mention anything about per-1000-days. Ttenbergen 17:00, 2024 March 20 (CDT)
    • The rate is mentioned in the succeeding definition with the delirium days as numerator. Your proposal here is to stop collecting TISS item CAM positive which I disagree because that TISS item is being used and reported as rate in OIT Report. Besides, the reason why it was dropped in in the STB VAPCLI report is because the requestor has changed. Brett Hiebert who used to request this was involved in the VAP group and another Delirium group so he asked to have both as one request. Brett had left and the VAP group filled up a new request to continue the VAP data and not on the delirium data. --JMojica 13:58, 2024 March 25 (CDT)
