Are you meaning CIWA? (Clinical Institute Withdrawl Assessment)

What exactly is the CIWA protocol?

It is a tool used commonly in the US that helps clinicians assess and treat potential alcohol withdrawal. A significant amount of injury in this country is due to the overuse of alcohol. A subset of these patients are admitted and do not have access to alcohol. They may begin to withdraw within a few days, and this condition can lead to dangerous complications.

We use those forms at my facility for q15min checks...they are coded with a letter for behavior, and number for location.
