Description

The Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology with Perinatal Extension-II (SNAPPE-II) is a modified version of the SNAP-PE.


Patient: newborn on admission to the NICU

 

Parameters present on NICU admission:

(1) mean arterial pressure (MAP) in mm Hg

(2) lowest body temperature in °C

(3) Pa/FIO2 ratio (apparently with FIO2 as a whole number rather than decimal fraction)

(4) lowest serum pH

(5) multiple seizures

(6) urine output in mL per kg per hour

(7) Apgar score at 5 minutes

(8) birthweight in grams

(9) small for gestational age (less than third percentile)
