What does "2/2" mean in a patient note?
I am reading a few patient notes and see 2/2 used several times, e.g.:
Unclear if 2/2 to aspiration
Recurrent UTIs and hosp. for urosepsis - thought 2/2 to chronic indwelling Foley catheter for neurogenic bladder.
Trach was placed because was unable to clear secretions on her own 2/2 to respiratory weakness
Her decreased responsiveness was thought to be 2/2 to meningitis

It means secondary to.
From your question:
Patient has respiratory weakness secondary to multiple sclerosis
If you are looking for a more credible source, this site mentions that it means "secondary to."
Meded.uscd.edu also mentions its meaning.
