If a patient managing their own BiPAP then this should not be marked. However, if it was '''started''' during this admission, mark it.

* Hi Trish  I need clarification from you I was told that you only mark BiPap/CPap if it was a new start in that admission.  And if they came in with their own machine you did not mark it as yes regardless if the nurse assisted with it.So now I am told differently and I am quite upset if I have been told wrong. So what does "started " mean in the above sentence?

**thanks for putting the question out here.  The workload  we track is for a new starts as instructed above.  Patient manages own but nurse helping, not tracking.  That is how medicine drew the line for this item.
