eo coc

English translation: under observation

Portuguese term or phrase: eo coc
Hello to all,

I found this at the header of a clinical case description from Portugal. It reads:

Paciente E.O. COC ansiosa
TA - 140/65
[followed by her other vital signs]

I think COC is "consciente, orientada e coerente", but I am not sure about E.O.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you
