Default Do these statements need commas?
PEG tube as before.

There is edema and pleural effusion as well.

I always think there should be a comma before as. What is the rule on that? Please clarify this for me. I would truly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Erin

No. You do not need a comma before "as" in these sentences.
