I spent a load of money getting trained for MT and I STILL  am not sure about this.  What do the experienced MTs think??
electrocautery ?
Subject: electrocautery ?

Doing an OR, which is not my expertise. The doctor is saying something that sounds like hemostasis was secured by electrocautery and s/l rithers??

Also he is saying something like sterile dressing applied in s/l indusive manner?

Can anyone help?

Subject: electrocautery is right...sm

It means the bleeding was stopped with an electrocautery device. Not sure about the "rithers."
The next answer is "occlusive" or in a covering manner. Good luck!

visual field types
Subject: visual field types

Here are some uncommon ones that might help in the future.  Monocular visual field.   Visual field superior 36 taped-and-untaped (checking for lid droop).   Mac-to-red visual field (macular threshold to red, for patients that use Plaquenil).   Hope this helps.
