ValueSet: Vomiting

Draft as of 2023-10-04				Computable Name: valueset-vomiting

The child is reported to have vomiting

A child who is not able to hold anything down at all has the sign “vomits everything” – everything that goes down comes back up. A child who vomits everything will not be able to hold down food, fluids, or oral drugs. A child who vomits several times but can hold down some fluids has “vomiting, but not everything”.

When you ask the question, use words that the caregiver understands. Give her time to answer. If the caregiver is not sure if the child is vomiting everything, help her to make her answer clear. For example, ask the caregiver how often the child vomits. Also ask if each time the child swallows food or fluids, does the child vomit? If you are not sure of the caregiver’s answers, ask her to offer the child a drink. See if the child vomits.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level	A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System	The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code	The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display	The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition	An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments	Additional notes about how to use the code
