PT Type question
- Need to clarify what patient type is used in the registry when a patient requires VA ecmo only. The patient is first admitted under cardiology (in MICU or CCU) and then when they get the ecmo, they have to go to CICU while they are on it. What patient type is used?? cardiac, medical or surgical??? Lois please clarify for us what you do so we can be consistent when we cover for you.--LKolesar 13:52, 2014 July 14 (CDT)
- please update this in Registry_Patient_Type#Critical_Care_Units once it is resolved. Ttenbergen 17:30, 2014 July 14 (CDT)
