Estimated blood loss (EBL) is, as the phrase denotes, an "estimate"; therefore, not unusual for the physicians to use the words, "average", "approximately", etc., with the volume under EBL.

if they say fixated they get it. Many things have changed over the years, dilation and dilatation being used interchangeably comes to mind.

I was taught in 1980 disc for spine and disk for eyes but we have had many a discussion on this very board about that and others say exactly the opposite. I now do disk for everything because of the AAMT. My private mds care less.....but my national DOES care. *laughs*

Thanks for the help and replies. Word sounds like it could be "dies", however this doesn't really make sense in the sentence: Ultrasound done under "dies" the patient underwent paracentesis to remove ascitic fluid. It's probably something really easy, but it's just not coming to me.

If so, I'm thinking "hyperechoic" for the first one.

A question about the word fixated. Way back I was taught...sm
Subject: A question about the word fixated. Way back I was taught...sm
that fixated was not a work to be used except in the sense of "John's attention was fixated on nude statue". When a doc says he fixated the plate to the bone, I was taught to change it to fixed. Now I am starting to second guess as so many docs use it in this way. Anyone can chime in here. I am so confused.
