doctor\'s treatment plan order
This is under treatment plan in the notes of a clinical trial patient treated in the hospital for pneumonia:
Plan: Mantener inhaladores
Control SOS
I don't find this in Cosnautas, and don't see anything in past KudoZ questions that seems to fit.
What does SOS stand for here, and how do we say it in English?
Thanks for your help.

I also see that I would have found it in our new acronym resource, Ian Beattie's Medical Abbreviations Spanish-English book (Abreviaturas Médicas Español-Ingles).
You can check online for links to this book and places to buy it (i.e. Amazon).

AINES + paracetamol + hoja de control SOS (lista con signos de alarma). o Si paciente ya convulsionó ! antipiréticos SOS. Ac. 18.1 mg/kg niños. midazolam ev) ... maybe something like control of warning signs.
And here's another: "Control con pediatra 72 horas Control SOS en SU según indicaciones".
