CVAT-no costovertebral angle tenderness

Posted By: they sometimes dictate this in extremities on 2007-09-17
In Reply to: Extremities - no CVA or CVP? - medword

Subject: CVAT-no costovertebral angle tenderness

CVAT is usually dictated before or after extremity exam but I have, just yesterday, had a dictator say this in the extremity exam.


I'd just make another subheading (flush left,  if that's how the CP says to format and it is not a verbatim account....


BACK:  No CVAT.


JMO-just my opinion
