The '''DC Treat''' checkbox on the Registry page of the PDA tracks the withdrawal of therapy when it is apparent that death is immediately imminent.
The concept encoded by this is slightly different than other [[:Category:End-of-life related data|End-of-life related data]] so it can not be transferred into new fields that encode related concepts, so we will keep it in the [[Centralized_data.accdb]]'s [[L Log table]]. It has been removed from [[CCMDB.accdb]].
Mark the TX DC checkbox on the PDA for patients if the decision is made to discontinue treatment.

This field was also collected in Medicine until 2013-07-04. Collection stopped because the distinction is not clear enough for coding on a medicine ward.
 
Defined as terminal withdrawal with expectation of death of:
* invasive mechanical ventilation (ET tube or trach)
* vasopressors or inotropes
* [[ECMO, VV]], [[ECMO, VA]]
* VAD (Ventricular assistive device)
