I'm typing neonatology notes and the docs say "in room air" but I was always taught to type it as "on room air." Is there a difference?

She had two or three episodes of this two days ago and then probably six to eight episodes yesterday, and then one or two episodes this morning.
Wouldn't they all be spelled out or would "episodes be considered a technical term"?

Thanks for replying so fast. Actually, my question was on the J point elevation s/l "1 and ?" Kind of sounded like 1 and the letter "o", but doesn't make sense. Didn't know if maybe he was speaking of a certain lead, but doesn't sound close to anything. Thanks so much for your time!!!! :-)
number rules?
Subject: number rules?
Two of my teachers taught different number rules. One, said that they should almost always be numeral form. The other said that numbers are usually spelled out.
I believe the Book of Style says numerals are usually appropriate, accept for zero, at the beginning of a sentence, drug admin. abrev's., etc..
Anyone? Numerals right? With acceptions? I'm just starting.

'Several' isn't a number, is it? I don't think it is. To me, the sentence looks odd with the abbreviation following the word 'several.'

In this case, I just think of a number as being something like 1-1000 (or to infinity and beyond!), and maybe I just sound like I want to be correct on this. I wonder if I'm confusing a former employers rules/guidelines with the BOS. Who knows?

Why is it so hard for me to hear whether she is saying "245" or "345"? Also with "186" or "196." This is driving me nuts. I can't figure out which one she is saying. Does this happen to anyone else?
The space is after the number is a relatively new
Subject: The space is after the number is a relatively new
thing. If you are an employee, you should check with your supervisor to see if your company follows the BOS guidelines (most do). If you have your own accounts, you might want to consider employing the BOS guidelines.
Per BOS: "We have inserted a space after the numeral 4 in q.4 h. on the advice of the ISMP so that the number is more easily and clearly read."
Note: ISMP stands for Institute for Safe Medicine Practices.
Number Usage
I have spelled out numbers lower than 10 for 30 years, until now that is. The QA personnel for the company I just started working for keep changing the spelled out word to a number (no matter where it is in the report and how it is used). Example: He has been having problems over the last six months (they changed to 6 months). This goes against everything I ever learned in 12 years of Catholic schools. Ugh! Is this according to the AAMT guidelines or is it there way of saving a penny here and there?
