More about: TISS-28

What it calculates

The “TISS-28” calculator computes TISS-28 score from 25 parameters: standard monitoring, fluid balance (5), laboratory investigations (1), single medication, any route (2), multiple intravenous medications (3), routine dressing changes (1), frequent dressing changes / extensive wounds (1), care of drains (3), ventilation: 0 none, 1 supplementary support (2), 2 mechanical ventilation (5), care of artificial airways (1), treatment to improve lung function (1), vasoactive drugs: 0 none, 1 single (3), 2 multiple (4), iv replacement of large fluid losses (4), peripheral arterial catheter (5), pulmonary artery catheter (8), central venous line (2), cpr in the past 24 h (3), hemofiltration / dialysis (3), quantitative urine output measurement (2), active diuresis (3), intracranial pressure monitoring (4), treatment of complicated acidosis/alkalosis (4), intravenous hyperalimentation (3), enteral feeding (2), specific interventions in icu: 0 none, 1 single (3), 2 multiple (5), specific interventions outside icu (5).

Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.

Example calculation

With parameters Standard monitoring, fluid balance (5) = 1, Laboratory investigations (1) = 1, Single medication, any route (2) = 0, Multiple intravenous medications (3) = 1, Routine dressing changes (1) = 0, Frequent dressing changes / extensive wounds (1) = 0, Care of drains (3) = 0, Ventilation: 0 none, 1 supplementary support (2), 2 mechanical ventilation (5) = 0, Care of artificial airways (1) = 0, Treatment to improve lung function (1) = 0, Vasoactive drugs: 0 none, 1 single (3), 2 multiple (4) = 0, IV replacement of large fluid losses (4) = 0, Peripheral arterial catheter (5) = 0, Pulmonary artery catheter (8) = 0, Central venous line (2) = 1, CPR in the past 24 h (3) = 0, Hemofiltration / dialysis (3) = 0, Quantitative urine output measurement (2) = 1, Active diuresis (3) = 0, Intracranial pressure monitoring (4) = 0, Treatment of complicated acidosis/alkalosis (4) = 0, Intravenous hyperalimentation (3) = 0, Enteral feeding (2) = 0, Specific interventions in ICU: 0 none, 1 single (3), 2 multiple (5) = 0, Specific interventions outside ICU (5) = 0 the result is 13 (1 point ≈ 10.6 min of nursing time per 8-h shift).
