Subject: Any ideas on "capping trial" or "cathing trial"?
This is a discharge summary from a doc who loves to use her own short forms of words in an account with very little allowed abbreviations. This is also not my usual account, so I admit to not knowing much out of my "box". Has anyone heard the term "cathing trial" or "capping trial" with regards to respiratory / tracheostomy issues?
Here is the context:
"This is a 19-year-old male admitted after suffering a closed head injury while riding his motorcycle in Tennessee...
<snipped some identifying info>
... Bolus tube feeds were also changed to 275 mL q. 4 hours as well as water boluses 225 mL q. 4 hours, which he did tolerate well. He was also seen by Respiratory, which did do ***s/l "capping trials" or "cathing trials" *** as tolerated, and he did have an ultrasound of the right upper extremity, to include the shoulder and upper right chest to be ordered, as there was a question of DVT. However, this did come back as negative."
Any idea on "capping trial" or "cathing trial"? This doctor is famous for being a mumbler, and I am not familiar with this account and either of these terms. Thanks!

Avonex/Copaxone Combi Trial
ANational Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored trial is beginning.
In this trial treatment naïve patients will be randomized
to receive either Avonex plus placebo (one out of four patients),
Copaxone plus placebo (one out of four patients) or Avonex
plus Copaxone (two out of four patients). The trial hopes to
answer the question, “Do interferon-beta and glatiramer acetate
work synergistically when given together?” Both drugs are
approved for the treatment of MS, but are seldom used together
because of the costs of the treatments when combined and the
lack of safety and efficacy data available.

Go to google.com and type in "suntuf." You will get 8900 hits. See if any of those look like a medical word to you.
If not, then you have almost done your due diligence in terms of searching on your own.
Now, open up your reference books (of which you should have several), and pour through them, looking for something that makes sense in the context of the patient's visit and history. If you find nothing, then you have almost completed the due diligence for which you're responsible before you ask for help.
Now, go to Google and type in all of the words you think it sounds like. If none of those come up as medical terms (on reputable sites) that make sense in the patient's history and reason for visit, and sound exactly like what the doctor is saying, you have completed the due diligence you're responsible for in order to post here with your question.
Please, only post your question once. You may follow up to replies on that one post, but do not continue to post the same question as separate threads. If no one answers your question to your liking, it is time to either ask your supervisor or leave a blank. Repeating the same question over and over will not lead to an answer - it will lead to the frustration of people trying to help you.
If this is a term the doctor says repeatedly, you need to ask your supervisor for examples of that doctor's report. In it, you will most likely find exactly what you're looking for, and you will also have samples for further questions you may have.
If not, leave a blank and ask whomever QAs your work for the answer to your blank.
The word help board is not here to type your reports for you. It is here after you have exhausted all other means of finding an answer. Otherwise, it not only appears as if you're taking the help of others for granted, you're expecting someone else to do your work for you.
Good luck finding the words you're looking for. I'm sure we're all curious to hear what the real phrase was, once you are given the answer to your blank. Please keep us updated.
Thanks!
