There is a Haney needle driver but not a Haney "clamp." Do a search for manufacturers and you'll find only Heaney. Try this one...http://www.surgical911.com/cgi-bin/framemgr.pl

Phaneth clamps?
Subject: Phaneth clamps?

Here is the sentence:


When we had reached the upper vagina, 2 Phaneth clamps were placed across the upper vagina.  The uterus and cervix, tubes and ovaries were excised as a single specimen and handed off the field.


The doctor actually spells out "P-H-A-N-E-T-H" clamps but I can't find any term like this anywhere.  Either he is wrong about what clamp he used or I'm not looking in the right spots.


Any suggestions?

FYI-AAMT BOS, edition 2
Subject: FYI-AAMT BOS, edition 2

Just thought I would pass on some information recently sent to me.


AAMT BOS  (Book of Style), 2nd edition


periods
Do not use periods within or at the end of most abbreviations, including acronyms, abbreviated units of measure, and brief forms. Use a period at the end of abbreviated English units of measure if they may be misread without the period. Better still, write out most English units of measure, thereby avoiding this use of a period at the end of an abbreviation.


wbc
WBC
mg
exam
prep
inch preferred to in. (Do not use in meaning inch without a period.)


However, use periods in lowercase drug-related abbreviations.
b.i.d.
q.4 h. = note it is "q.4" and then a space before the "h."
p.o.
p.r.n.


If a sentence terminates with an abbreviation that requires a period, do not add another period.
He takes Valium 5 mg q.a.m.
not He takes Valium 5 mg q.a.m..


plurals
Use a lowercase s without an apostrophe to form the plural of capitalized abbreviations, acronyms, and brief forms.
EEGs
PVCs
CABGs
exams


Use 's to form the plural of lowercase abbreviations.
rbc's
Use 's to form the plural of single-letter abbreviations.
X's


Hyphens and adjectives


15-year-old boy
The patient is a 33-year-old.
2-year 5-month-old child (note no comma in this)

.38-caliber pistol - note no leading zero here - see below
two-thirds full
one-half normal saline
half-normal saline
She was panic-stricken
20-pack-year history
self-medicated

For quantities less than 1, place a zero before the decimal point, except when the number could never equal 1 (e.g., in bullet calibers and in certain statistical expressions such as correlation coefficients and statistical probability).
0.75 mg

I don't know if you guys follow BOS rules but...

per BOS page 150 "When generic name and brand name of a medication sound alike, use the generic spelling unless it is certain that the brand name is being referenced." (Therefore, use KCl.)

Also per BOS p 461 Dangerous Abbreviations "Use complete spelling for drug names." (Therefore, use potassium chloride!) ?

Time format in BOS 3rd edition
Can anyone tell me what the specific rules are for time format in the new BOS on pages 337-339. A brief description would be great or u can scan and email it to me too, whichever.

I do intend to buy my own soon but I have to wait till payday. :(

Subject: Considering they change things every edition . . . sm

I'd stick with the national standard for clarity's sake unless instructed to stringently follow BOS.  There is staging that is very involved and would look convoluted without spacing in my opinion; i.e, pT2a pN3 MX, etc.

under needle there is BD spinal and right under that is Beath and a little further down is Beeth.

I understand for verying and yes, it is confusing when you see it spelled 2 different ways, but I do type Ortho reports on a daily basis and I have been told Beath. Also when I Google Beath needle there is a section under Shoulder Arthroscopy, books.google.com and the article is highlighting Beath pin and then Beath needle is there. This might help for verification.
