Re: not coping

There is rarely a secondary use of medical abbreviations @outlander. That way there are less errors or misunderstandings. So C/O is complaining of and CO is Cardiac Output. Everything else is correct.

Re: not coping

ok so if it has a / its complaining of without a / its cardiac output- is that right? @Sans911

Re: not coping

oh ive been going off my own brain @Sans911 ive done better than i thought! but i think im going to need that for the next set of questions. its in your area of expertise and its one of the ones i find the hardest!
i know most of the definitions but im not sure if theres a different meaning for cardiology so ill run it past you first if that's alright

Re: not coping

Yes that is right @outlander. You might have the two abbreviations in the same report so that is where there needs to be a distinction
