mucus plugging or mucous plugging
Subject: mucus plugging or mucous plugging

I'm typing a bronchoscopy report and have always typed mucus plugging, but looking back at old reports I see that some people have it as mucous plugging.  Just want to correct myself if I am doing it wrong.
kudos!

mucus plugging

 


Regarding mucus/mucous plugging....Maybe this will clear things up: 


 


MUCUS:  Mucus is secreted by the mucous membranes.  It helps to moisten, warm, and filter the air as it enters the nose.  Notice, the different spellings of mucus and mucous.  Mucous is the name of the tissue; mucus is the secretion that flows from the tissue. 


Therefore, in my opinion, I would type mucus plugging....Even though it is being used as an adjective, the mucus is what is plugging up the works, not the mucous membrane tissue. 


Such a great way to remember! Kudos!

Subject: LOL. I also typed at a sister hospital sm

of S&W, Santa Fe, where they had their residents. Typed opth, ortho surgery/urology/ general surgery, ENT and a little derm. AND several doctors at S&W  left and started their own GYN practice. S&W didn't let them operate there, so they came to our railroad hospital, full of men of course, and used our services for op notes, orders. Well, I had had little GYN but I got a crash course!!! What a ride those days were!! Of course, I was younger then and unafraid. Picture 3 dictaphone machines (belt type) going 8 hours a day and people calling in orders and op notes!!!  I used to take dictation direct in radiology also!!  Nothing scares me much after that!!!
