dahlio Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 What does BPV stand for when you're talking about a patient's medical history. I heard a nurse talk say something to a doctor about it, but not sure what it stands for. Thanks -dahlio

dahlio Posted December 18, 2008 Author Posted December 18, 2008 Thanks, I did google, but there was also a bi-polar deal there too, not sure which was used. Thanks! -dahlio
Richard B the EMT Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Reminder: NEVER use WNL to indicate the patient's vital signs were "Within Normal Limits", as the lawyers will say it stands for "We Never Looked"!
Richard B the EMT Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Not my personal experience, but have read it in at least 4 separate EMS "Trade Magazines", multiple times, over many years' time.
