18-gauge needle types - (sm)

Subject: 18-gauge needle types - (sm)

I lent out my equipment words book and never got it back!  Argh!  Anyone know these two needles... 


1. S/L 'hausted' needle or 'halstead' needle. 


2.  S/L 'suss-man' needle.


I will go to Ebay and find another one of these, since I'm apparently not getting mine back, but in the meantime I'd be SO thankful for any ideas!

Subject: 2 types of anesthesia care -- see msg.

Local and MAC (monitored anesthesia care) are 2 types of anesthesia, so probably "Local/MAC" would be best. However, I don't think I have ever been dinged on QA for typing "Local MAC" with a space.

Here is a link to an article on anesthesia types.
