query help

Hi all,
I need some quick help with drafting a query. I have a patient that presented with a ruptured AAA, went to the OR for repair and expired during the procedure. Documentation is sparse likely due to the short LOS. There is no CC/MCC on the record as it stands. I would like to query for Hemorrhagic shock/ABL anemia and I would like to provide options for the MD but want to make sure I am compliant in offering ‘all reasonable options’.

This is what I have currently:
Pt diagnosed with Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm in ED per H&P.
“transferred to the operating room hemodynamically unstable with a pressure in the 70s systolic.” Per OP note.
Hgb/Hct 8.7/27.7 on admission with Multiple units of PRBC provided per transfusion record
Levophed ordered per Medication list.

Can you please clarify if any of the following were monitored, evaluation, and/or treated during this patients admission?
Acute blood loss anemia
Hemorrhagic shock
Acute blood loss anemia with hemorrhagic shock
Other
Unable to determine


What do you think? Am I missing anything?

    I would add hypotension without shock

    Could you please provide your opinion as to the clinical significance, if any, for the following abnormal indicators listed below?

    - hemodynamically unstable with a pressure in the 70s systolic
    - Hgb/Hct 8.7/27.7 multiple units of PRBC
    - Levophed drip [add supporting B/P if you have them]

    i.e.
    Not clinically significant
    Acute blood loss anemia
    Hemorrhagic shock
    Acute blood loss anemia with hemorrhagic shock
    Other
    Unable to determine

  • Ahhhh, YES!! This is exactly what I was looking for. Sometimes it's so easy to miss the obvious.

    Thanks!
