SAPS II

SAPS II (Simplified Acute Physiology Score II) is a medical tool used by healthcare professionals to estimate the likelihood of survival for critically ill patients in intensive care units. It analyzes various patient data, such as vital signs, lab results, medical history, and organ functions, collected within the first 24 hours of ICU admission. By calculating these factors, SAPS II provides an overall score that helps clinicians assess the severity of illness and predict outcomes, aiding in decision-making and resource allocation. It is a standardized method to support clinical judgment and improve patient care.
