BIPAP/CPAP Task
The BIPAP/CPAP task encodes whether or not a medicine patient was newly started on your ward. It is stored in the Diagnosis tab in ccmdb.mdb because that is the only way we could store it when we started to collect it.
Only mark if this was a new start on your ward. If a task was done prior to patient coming to your ward or after patient is transferred to another ward, it should be marked as none during the stay on your ward.
- It is very rare at STB to see a new start of CPAP on the ward. New BIPAP is done in the ICU only. Just wondering if this is also true of the other hospitals? Just wondering how common this is and what this task is being used for, especially if it is seldom used. --LKolesar 13:47, 2016 July 20 (CDT)
