     Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to APACHE Medical Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the filing of a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 by the Corporation under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Registration Statement"), which Registration
Statement registers an additional 500,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), reserved for
issuance under the Corporation's Amended and Restated Employee Stock Option
Plan (the "Option Plan").  In that capacity, we have reviewed the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Corporation, both as
amended to date, the Registration Statement, the Plan, the originals or copies
of corporate records reflecting the corporate action taken by the Corporation
in connection with the approval of the Plan and the issuance of the additional
shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the earlier Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-23731) relating to Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Plan and such other instruments as we have deemed necessary
for the issuance of this opinion.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock to
be offered under the Plan has been duly authorized by all requisite action on
the part of the Corporation and, when issued in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the
category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            GARDNER, CARTON & DOUGLAS

To the Board of Directors
APACHE Medical Systems, Inc.:
