Implementation in Data Set Specifications:![]() | Intensive care DSS Health!, Recorded 14/07/2006 DSS specific information: If the patient suffers a cardiorespiratory arrest or death in the first 24 hours, the values recorded should be the lowest measured values prior to arrest or death. It is inappropriate to record a variable as zero merely because cardiorespiratory arrest or death has occurred. Where an automated monitoring system is being employed then values on the preceding hour pre-arrest should be considered in the selection of the lowest (worst available) value. e.g. if arrest occurs at 11:35am, then consider substituting values corresponding to 11:00am. Used in the calculation of APACHE II and APACHE III scores. APACHE II For the calculation of the APACHE II score, the highest and lowest respiratory rates in the first 24 hours are collected and then scored using the following APACHE II weight scoring system. For the calculation of the APACHE II score, the highest score is used.
APACHE III For the calculation of the APACHE III score, the highest and lowest respiratory rates in the first 24 hours are collected and then scored using the following APACHE III weight scoring system. For the calculation of the APACHE III score, the highest score is used. For mechanically ventilated patients, no points are given for respiratory rate 6 – 12.
