- A physiological element collected for APACHE II
Select the worst value in the first 24 hours in ICU., i.e. the value that would generate the highest score from the APACHE Scoring table.
Artificial Cooling
Discussed in Nov 21.08_ ICU team meeting:
If a patient is actively cooled for therapeutic reasons, use the most recent temp just prior to start of cooling.
- If no temp is available before cooling initiated, then use a temp at 4 hours after cooling stopped.
- cardiac arrests may having the cooling protocol applied. See BRR for more information about special tagging of these patients.
If a patient is arriving from the OR cold, use the actual worst temperature since this low temp could also be a negative result of "having been open" for a long time.
- the key to APACHE is not to record iatrogenically induce problem.
