CART_score_guideline v.1
An assessment score used to predict risk of in-hospital cardiac arrest.
To calculate CART score and its interpretation.
Variables: - respiratory rate (breaths/minute) - heart rate (beats/minute) - diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) - age (years) Every measured parameter will represent a certain score which will be calculated into a total CART score. A patient with the CART score of more than 20 is interpreted as high risk of having an event of cardiac arrest, while a score of 20 or lower means low risk of such event.
- Not to be used as the ICU transfer criteria - Not to be interpreted as mortality rate prediction
