If you don't have Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words book you should get it. This book is amazing. Pretty much any piece of medical/surgical equipment is in there. It is worth its weight in gold. If your company doesn't offer discounted books, you can purchase it a Amazon.com either new or used, and they have great used book. I bought my entire collection of Stedman's words book used. All of them are in at least good condition.

Patient here today for a post-op s/l line infection evaluation.  She has been doing daily wet to dry dressing changes and today the wound breadown area is less than a cm across and with probing with a Q-tip will not extend any greater than 2 cm in the area.  I do not think that this continues to require any packing.  I have recommended that she just keep gauze over the area for the drainage.  thank you
