Lori, We have a reflex lactate level programmed for 4 hours after the first one if the first is above normal range. It has worked well for us. We have to watch carefully after any large eMR upgrades to be sure it is still working correctly. Other than that it has helped us tremendously. Gerri

Is this true? Thanks, Debbie Chambless Sepsis Coordinator Osceola Regional Medical Center Kissimmee, Fl 34371 407-518-3949 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I sent this to QNet and below is the response that I received: Unless there is physician documentation that the low BP or MAP is due to the medications or other condition within the OR, the BP's may be used to meet criteria. The anesthesiologist or CRNA does not document a narrative note as to "why" the BP dropped. Is this a reasonable expectation? The patient is in the OR for source control and is being monitored constantly. Is there consideration for excluding these patients from the measure or at least excluding vital signs recorded in the OR?

It has been working well for us. I know originally some wanted to push the reflex back to 4 hours, but I am worried that if we do that we might experience a delay that leads to a fallout.
