SCDs
Subject: SCDs
I type SCDs frequently. The sequential compression devices are kept on the legs for DVT prophylaxis. It's been done for many years. Sometimes they keep them on after surgery. I think they are like boots that squeeze your legs and keep the blood flowing. I have just used the term just this last week in surgery and just a few minutes for after surgery. Sorry, I have never heard of SPDs...and Ive been around doing this stuff for 29 years....not to say it not possible, but just I have never heard that term before!

something for UTI prophylaxis
Subject: something for UTI prophylaxis
The doctor says: He remains on s/l dimanos and cranberry, has had no urinary tract infection is 6 months although he still sees bladder shells.
I must be off on my spelling and have tried every variation that I can think of, but I'm having no luck. Any ideas, anyone?
UTI prophylaxis
Subject: UTI prophylaxis
Thank you, pdq, but I don't think that's what he's saying. This patient has C6 tetraplegia and uses the Mentor 450 Self-Cath. I wondered if it was a medical device of some sort, but he lists this dimanos as a medication too. I'm beginning to think he's using some sort of slang, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out. Looks like he may get 2 blanks for the same term.
H2 prophylaxis?
Subject: H2 prophylaxis?
Dictator states they are adding pneumatic boots as well as "H2 prophylaxis"? Does this sound right? I'm sure on the prophylaxis part but not on the H2. I have a slurer.  Thanks so much! Hope you're all having a great day!
