| ARCHETYPE ID | openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.sensory_level.v0 |
|---|---|
| Concept | Sensory level |
| Description | The most caudal, normally innervated, dermatome level observed in response to light touch, pain or temperature stimuli. |
| Use | Use to record the most caudal, normally innervated dermatome level observed in response to light touch, pain or temperature stimuli. This archetype has been specifically designed to be used in the 'Examination detail' SLOT within the OBSERVATION.exam or the CLUSTER.exam-nervous_system archetype. It can also be nested within any other relevant OBSERVATION or Physical examination-related family of CLUSTER archetypes, where clinically appropriate. In clinical scenarios requiring the documentation of the sensory level in more than one modality, use a separate instance of this archetype for each modality. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record the sensory response to light touch, pain or temperature applied to an area of skin - use the CLUSTER.sensation_finding for this purpose. Not to be used to record the sensory response to vibration applied to a bony prominence - use the CLUSTER.vibration_finding for this purpose. |
| Purpose | To record the most caudal, normally innervated, dermatome level observed in response to light touch, pain or temperature stimuli. |
