At 0o jugular veins should be filled. An impulse visible just prior to S1 or the upstroke of the carotid is the "a-wave". This will be followed by a x-descent. The 'c' wave is usually not visible. The 'v' wave occurs after the start of the carotid upstroke and during ventricular systole (which is atrial diastole). When the tricuspid valve opens there is a brisk descent (y-descent).

S-waves do exist and so do S-wave changes.

EKG shows sinus brady at 57 with U waves
Subject: EKG shows sinus brady at 57 with U waves

Ok, I'm confused. I've never heard this before. What does it mean and how should it be transcribed? The hosptial I work for likes EKG to be expanded so I know I need to do that, I'm thinking "brady" needs to be "bradycardia" and maybe the 57 is referring to beats. So: "Electrocardiogram shows sinus bradycardia at 57 beats/min. with U waves." Is that right or am I way off?

This just isn't sitting right with me, and I think the doctor's old service (his nurse)  has been doing this wrong for awhile now.  I just took over this account and have been reviewing and comparing old notes with current dictation.


"The patient was injected with "a quarter percent" Marcaine and morphine."


She was typing this as 25% - It should be 0.25% shouldn't it.  I'm so tired right now I need to go to sleep, but have to turn this job in first.  Thanks for helping.  ME

how to write "..well-corticated..."
Subject: how to write "..well-corticated..."

Just a general question: It seems a significant percentage of radiologists will use the term "well corticated" to describe an accessory ossicle or perhaps old trauma to differentiate what may appear to be an acute fracture. Since "corticated" is not an actual word, can anyone help with an appropriate way to rephrase this? eg "At the distal tip of the fibula is a well-corticated bony lesion, likely an accessory ossicle or old trauma and not an acute fracture."


maybe "lesion with good cortical margins" or some such, but wondering if there are other suggestions.


Thanks.

Subject: I would write it out even if it is verbatim

PPD is a test for tuberculosis.  You aren't just writing a document to appease the doctor.  You are writing a legal document that many other people may want to read, including an insurance auditor or a lawyer, neither of which may have any clue what PPD means EVEN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SENTENCE and will have no inclination to look it up.


That's just me, someone who audits physician records and slaps them on the wrists for this like this, but you do want you want.
