Ask someone at the place that's using it as the acronym has a multitude of abbreviations.

each unit has different abbreviations that mean different things. Eg CT TAP could mean CT of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis OR a therapeutic drainage of a collection under CT guidance.
The only stupid questions are the ones that you don't ask. You could be doing something that adversely affects the pts care
