These guidelines do not establish a standard of care to be followed
in every case. It is recognized that each case is different and
those individuals involved in providing health care are expected to

the patient based on the circumstances existing at the time.
It is impossible to anticipate all possible situations that may
exist and to prepare guidelines for each. Accordingly these
guidelines should guide care with the understanding that departures
from them may be required at times.
