The presentation recalls the limits of terminologies of 2 coding systems for surgical interventions: the French CCAM and the Australian international ICHI as assessed by Galen ontology driven tools.

Parts of the model description is vague, however, which makes it difficult for the reader to find necessary information about the aerosol treatment without actually reading many of the underlying papers for the model. The treatment of sea salt, in particular, is poorly describ...
