Patients and variables

Patients excluded : burn injuries and less than 16 years of age .

Data are collected within the first 24 hours after ICU admission.

If a patient is admitted after the beginning of the shift when the 24 hour period is first recorded, it will be necessary to abstract intake and and output totals from a portion of the record from the second day.

The fluid balance component is not helpful in patients with isolated head injuries whose fluid intakes are restricted.

Back

For patients who are intubated, the GCS verbal points are assigned as follows :
5 points if eye + motor = 10
3 if eye + motor = 7 or 8
1 if eye + motor <= 6
