Body temperature
Subject: Body temperature

Dictator states the patient's temperature is 75.7.  (Patient is having a surgical consult for abdominal pain).  This is the third time in as many weeks I've had physician dictate a body temperature in the 70s.  Celsius temp is normally in the 30s, Farenheit - of course - is normally in the high 90s.  Am I missing something here?  Is there some other temperature scale I don't know about?  So far I've flagged them as blanks.


Thanks!

PROCEDURE PERFORMED:  Cystoscopy, bilateral retrograde pyelograms, bilateral ureteral stent changes with 6 x 24 ureteral tents

name of catheter
Subject: name of catheter

I have an ESL doing an OB/GYN procedure (a hysteroscopy, to be more specific) and she inserts a catheter into the bladder to drain it.  I think she's saying red_____catheter, and the first thing that comes to my mind is 'red Robinson' or maybe even 'red rubber.'  I looked at the last report that I left this blank in, and the QA put in red Robinul catheter.  I do not believe there is such a thing.  Maybe she just attempted to use one of her shortcuts, and the wrong one filled in without her realizing it, or she was sleep typing.  Who knows!  Robinul is a med, and there is no such catheter, is there?  I sure can't document one in my reference books or with Google searches.
name of catheter
Subject: name of catheter

I agree, I've heard red rubber catheter many times too.  I was just going back and listening to the blanks to see if I could figure any of them out on a second pass, and it definitely does sound like Robinul or a word ending in that type of sound, but she's getting a blank from me on this one.  Maybe a different QA will proof it, and I can see what it really should be.


Thank you all!


Maybe PAC catheter??...
Subject: Maybe PAC catheter??...

as in abbreviated port-a-cath?? Not sure on that one.  Then--"catheter was sutured using a Witzel tunnel suture to prevent rotation or volvulus" (twisting of the bowel).  Would make sense with Witzer tunnel procedure and if the cath site is in the abdomen (especially for chemotherapy).
