Coronary '''[[Angiogram]]'''s are an exception to the above rule. If a patient comes '''directly''' from the heart cath lab to the ICU, then we need to count the angiogram. For example, the pt is sent to the STB cath lab from the Vic ER, then the pt goes back '''directly''' to the Vic ICU following the angiogram.  The Vic ICU collector should count this angiogram.  Coronary angiograms have always been tracked this way because they wanted the counts on them specifically and most are done prior to arrival in the ICU. Sorry this information was not in the wiki up to now so has not been consistently counted throughout the city.  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:39, 2014 September 30 (CDT)
