I have noticed that people write lab results in a "tree" or diagram format, not needing to put in what lab is what.
Anyone have a copy of that as a "key" so that I can learn how to use that "tree" thingy and write my labs like that?
I've tried to google...what is the format that people use to write their CBC's and electrolyte panels? I can't find it on google. It's like a diagram or something, then they just plug the values in different parts of the lined off areas... without having to write what value is what. Anyone that can help me out here, I'd be grateful! I've seen this format on kardexes and report sheets... but somehow the "key" has slipped my mind! I'm in a class with five gals and none of us know, but want to!
I use them every day...stick figures for lab values>>> Sorry, my computer can't draw the stick and put the values in at the same time...however if you use the sticks below where the values go you may get the picture ;-)
Below are the value positions for BMP lab:
Below are the lab value positions for CBC lab:
Below are the stick figures ...put the values in the appropriate spots as described above:
>--< This stick figure is used for CBC lab
---l--l--< This stick figure is used for BMP lab
PS: Hopefully someone can give you an address of a website that explains stick figures. I tried but came up empty handed!
