that this can also be used for PAH, which makes sense for the text you posted. Re-listen and see if you hear that. Otherwise, I would leave it blank. 


I'm not sure if you're a new MT or not (and I don't want to seem condescending if you're not) but just in case you are, I found this by:


1) Googled 'pulmonary hypertension treatment'
2) 'Sildenafil' grabbed my eye as having the essential sounds that the mushmouth used (LOL)
3) I looked up Sildenafil on the RxList.com medication site to be sure it was used
4) Again, I highly suggest you re-listen to the dictation and be sure that you hear 'Sildenafil'. .


(PLUS, I also learned something new today...that Viagra has other uses -- I absolutely love learning something new).

Is it acceptable to type drug dosages with the number but not the unit of measure. For example Zocor 10 every night. I believe this may be confused with 10 pills instead of mg. What's acceptable on a verbatim account?

Using propofol (DIPRIVAN) to sedate patients during endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures is gaining momentum in a growing number of hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and physician offices.(1) In trained hands, propofol offers many advantages over other drugs used for sedation because it:

* Has a rapid onset (about 40 seconds) and a short duration of action;
* Allows patients to wake up, recover, and return to baseline activities and diet sooner than some other sedation agents;
* Reduces the need for opioids, thus resulting in less nausea and vomiting.

I don't believe T-L would necessarily be incorrect, but LS is listed in Steadman's as lumbosacral (also L/S is acceptable). If you go by that reasoning, TL or T/L would be correct. TL seems the best one to me, only because I type LS for lumbosacral. But ask QA for the safe bet.
