Cardio: E to A or E:A - mt


Posted: Nov 19, 2010

Is it E to A  or E:A?  I have had this corrected different ways by QA in the last few days.  Any info on what is correct?  Thanks.

Stedman's CV/PUL - sm

Shows both E:A or E/A as correct

The colon should only be used when numbers are involved (nm) - OTE

We use E:A which as other poster said is listed - sm

in Stedman's. IF you are getting conflicting info from QA, you need to check with your supervisor or the QA supervisor to see which is preferred.

I don't think they know which is preferred! - mt

No matter which way I do it, it gets correct to the other way!!

Thanks for the info.

I always spell it out - E to A

BOS3 defines it like this - please sm

Use a hyphen when expressing a ratio using letters or words instead of values.

E-to-A ratio

BOS3 > 11.3.2
