Guidelines are intended to be an educational device to provide information that may assist us in providing care to patients. Guidelines are not rules and should not be construed as establishing a legal standard of care or as encouraging, advocating, requiring, or discouraging any particular treatment. Clinical decisions in any particular case involve a complex analysis of the patient’s condition and available courses of action. Therefore, clinical considerations may lead a physician to take a course of action that varies from guidelines.
