I think vitals from the OR should be excepted.  I'll work on that.

We have received some fall outs of the Sepsis Measure due to vital signs in the 
OR being used for time zero.  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?
