Subject: Skin Axis / Access

In a mammogram, doc dictates: "At ultrasound, this does correspond to a smooth, oval, hypoechoic, well-defined nodule, which is parallel to the skin axis/access, measuring 14 x 4 x 9 mm. "


Is it "axis" or "access?"  Thanks in advance :-)

Subject: Yes, the KVO allows easy access

warranted.  In my experience, the KVO rate was used during a transesophageal echocardiogram wherein if the patient needed a bolus of a med, then the line was there to give it.  Saline was given at a KVO rate, but I think it also (slow drip) allowed hydration for the patient while undergoing the procedure.  I believe these drips given at KVO rate can be started a lot of times in the ER to allow venous access.

I hate abbreviations.

The only thing that shows up in my cardiology book is adenosine diphosphage, and that doesn't tell me what the next NP or and P would mean. I wish they'd just say what they mean instead of abbreviating, because if I can't figure them out I'm blanking them.
