Positional Vertigo
Subject: Positional Vertigo

Hello!  Doc is prescribing what sounds like canula three positioning maneuvers' sheet to review.  Any clue what canula could be?  I know of Cawthorne exercises for vertigo, but he is definitely not saying that.


 


Thanks!

Subject: If she has intractable headache that is clearly positional, a s/l "wood" patch could be considered.

After spinal fluid analysis...I told her to spend most of the next 24 hours recumbent, drink plenty of fluids, and to use some caffeine, as this often does help the pain. If she has intractable headache that is clearly positional, a __ patch could be considered.

Beta Blockers

Beta blockers have also been studied for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension.9 The three agents most widely studied are propranolol, piûdolol, and xamoterol. Propranolol’s mechanism of action is believed to be antagonism of beta-controlled vasodilator effects of catecholamines. Pindolol is a nonselective beta blocker with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Patients with orthostatic hypotension may have reduced sympathomimetic activity, and the agonist properties of pindolol account for its usefulness in these patients. Xamoterol, a partial beta1-selective agonist, has been shown to be useful in patients unable to tolerate pindolol. Because xamaterol is an investigational agent, its usefulness is limited. Nevertheless, a New Drug Application has been filed with the FDA.

Since there are so many different transcription platforms, you can't always program in the 1/2 symbol and typing it like that - 1/2 - is clumsy and can be unclear when read. The guidelines at my last in-house job were to convert it to decimal if possible.
