  • <20%
  • 20-29%
  • 30-49%
  • 50% or greater
  • z not available (starts with z to sort to end)

• Project ABO TEE function (Right ventricular function from intra-op TEE before cardiopulmonary bypass:)
  • If the documentation says mild-moderate or moderate to severe, then coding would be towards the worse value-eg. Mild-moderate would be recorded as moderate and moderate-severe would be recorded as severe.
  • Values are:
    • Normal
