Discussion about the usefulness and meaning of the term 1263452006 |Anesthesia and/or sedation procedure (procedure)|

Discussion on how to represent hyperbaric bupivacaine in SNOMED

This area of the hierarchy is under review in an effort to distinguish between procedures i.e. one time occurrence vs multiple occurrences over time whether continuous or intermittent.
