Wiki Help - Acute Respiratory

[Michele Wallace]

A 35 year old man was admitted with Acute Respiratory Failure secondary to ANSMI; patient on long term Coumadin due to history of DVT and atrial fibrillation.

ANSMI does anyone know what the abbreviation is for???????

Thanks.

I couldn't find that abbv. either but my guess would be Anteroseptal Myocardial Infarction 410.1x?

Ask the person who wrote the note

I wouldn't want to guess. It's best to ask the provider who wrote the note what it stands for.

I agree but here is the best web site that I have found so far for looking up those abreviations.
