ARCHETYPE Gugging Swallowing Screen for Intensive Care Units (GUSS - ICU) (openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.guss_icu.v0)

ARCHETYPE IDopenEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.guss_icu.v0
ConceptGugging Swallowing Screen for Intensive Care Units (GUSS - ICU)
DescriptionAn assessment score used for the identification of post-extubation dysphagia and aspiration risk in the intensive care unit (ICU).
UseUse to record the result for each component parameter and the total sum for the Gugging Swallowing Screen for Intensive Care Units (GUSS-ICU).
MisuseNot to be used to record the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS). Use the OBSERVATION.guss archetype for this purpose.
PurposeTo record the result for each component parameter and the total sum for the Gugging Swallowing Screen for Intensive Care Units (GUSS-ICU).
