*Each item must have a partner: For example if central line "in" is an option, then central line "out" must be entered. If it remains in after discharge then the box is ticked in the "out" option. "Start" items must be paired with "stop" items and "in" items must be paired with "out" items. When you send, if the paired items are not entered for your completed pts, you will get a list of errors when you check your pre-send checker. | *Each item must have a partner: For example if central line "in" is an option, then central line "out" must be entered.

** Another example: when both | ** Another example: when both "ETT in and Vent start" are simultaneous , then decided to stop the vent but kept the ETT in and then the ETT was removed later on another date, only 3 date_times should be recorded namely 1) ETT_in & Vent_start, 2) Zvent_stop, 3) ZETT_out. Despite only having 3 dates, the partners are satisfied (eg. ETT_in & vent_start will be partner for both Zvent_stop and ZETT_out). | ||
